This baby is brushless, but you may wonder, what is brushless? Well, this is where in a regular motor, brushes send power to the main rotor in the motor to be powered by magnets. But in a brushless motor, the magnets are on the rotor, and the windings are on the inside of the motor "can". This results in no brushes to wear and very high power and efficieny. Overall, the preformance of this system is quite amazing, and the only way you will know is to try it yourself. If you have beeing thinking of getting this, jump the gun, and do it!
