base to keep the commutator clean.
The whole question is moot anyway. With the rpm limits and hand out motors at the Nationals, motor shenanigans are way down. The margins are so close between a box stock motor and an expert 'tuned" motor it's hard to tell the difference. And it's hardly worth the effort.

Yeah, the rare earth magnet route is one way, but there are other ways. This whole motor thing is like watching Kobe Bryant play basketball. It's one thing to know what he's doing, but it's a whole different question of how he's doing it.
