a brushless motor dose not use the brushes that a normal motor would have. try thinking of this motor as an inside out motor, as the windings are around the can and not on the arm which spins. the advantage of a brushless motor is that since the windings are not on the arm the motor can acceleration, and no brushes to replace and you dont have to true the com ie. less maintanice (sp?) as far as performance. ive only seen the novak super sport system in a xxx4 and it was as fast as a brushed motor powerd cars on the track as well. novak says its like a 10 turn motor but i think there are like 6 diffrent profiles on the speed controle so you can change the motors performance from stock to mod i think? as for your question on dose the losi xxxt come with one- unless your getting a rtr you have to put your own electronics in. and a rtr comes with a brushed motor (19 turn i think) and all the electronics installed. hope this helps
