[QUOTE=MUDVAYNE;15182538[U]]Ok, then how did they keep the tight tolerances when they were making brushed motors? You still have the winds to consider, and the winds were the parts that were spinning[/U]. IMO there was more to go wrong in a brushed motor then a brushless./QUOTE]
They would take your motor and unwind it to count how many turns it had. This would of coarse destroy the motor. A real good reason not to cheat. Also costly if you where often tagged for cheating. With stock motor pre '99ish, they had locking tabs that discolored when pried on. With rebuild-ables they had tags in the winding that broke if you tried to remove any wire.
About all you could do was change brush types and spring strength. If you
had bucks you may have had a Magnet Zapper. But you had to take the motor apart to do that. Or you could turn the com down to almost nothing to get a few more rpms. You may get 3 races out of it doing that.
And now you know.
