Sorry Rees, I am not sure. It is quite as Dionne mentioned. Just wondering, what is the significance of one or the other?

I don't have a clue, sorry!BUT, if this may help you, it's one the quietest fan motor I've ever heard running.

Quick answer is Motor SIZE. Looks like you are comparing the brushless motor version with the brushed motor version. The brushless is 380, the brushed is 550 titan. Brushless is faster, more reliable, longer lasting, etc, hence, why it costs more. Not only will the motor sizes be different, but the "motor mounts" and the electronic speed controller "ESC" included will be as well. I bought the 550 brushed version, you will be pleased w/ it. If you take this hobby seriously, when the motor dies just buy a 550 sized brushless motor AND ESC. Happy hunting

Itls a brushed motor... Not very fast say about 30. I bought this for a friend of mine. If it's the one Pictured... It's 4x4

Basically brush less motors are more efficient brushes being the short coming on a brushed RC motor. brush less pretty much maintenance free

You know Steve- the manufacturer's website answers your questions :) but here you go."Q: What fans can I use a fan speed controller with?A: Our fan speed controller (ACSC) will work with brushless motors, such as the ones commonly used with inline centrifugal fans. Do not use with blowers, booster fans, etc."Quiet operationDurable ceramic-coatedMetal housingUL-recognized componentsHigh quality molded impellerThermally-protected AC motorIncludes mounting brackets and 8 foot pre-wired 120V cordThermally protected A/C motor :) I have 3 - these things are worth every penny - they are loud if not attached to any duct or filter.

Save your money to go to brushless. It just ran a little bit better than the stock brushed motor.

I researched them and found the motors were all the same, I'm guessing the difference was in housings or length of cord, but the multi purpose I bought was built quite well for my usage. It's solid and does a good job, first week I cleaned 1200 sq' of flagstone outside and then 500 of clearcoats flagstone indoors. The one I bought did not come with brushes and it might be good to buy 2 or 3 different types, but its a good machine

I'm no expert on this but from what I've been told a brushless motor has no brushes in the motor to wear. There is nothing wrong with a motor that has brushes but from what I've read brushes are less reliable in the long run and have a sensitive break in period that can ultimately be the make it or break it from the first operation of the device.

no this is not brushless, there is a sopt where you can change the brushes out on the side of the motor. Has been a great saw so far way more power and faster starts than the dewalt 18v i had on lone from my brother inlaw

Best guess is that unless you are a mechanical wizard the integrated nature of the motor and fan will not allow you to merely replace the current motor with this motor. I found that the motor was customized to the fan and could not be just attached. I ordered an entirely different and fully contained replacement for my nutone fan, though I cannot find on my system where I ordered it now. DJH

The brushless models usually have "Brushless" on the handle. I don't see that on the model shown.

Doug, This is a brushless unit. I have been using it for the last 2 months, very pleased with it. Great battery life and much more powerful then the Ryobi it replaced. Good luck.

(after my first comment) I now see the 2500 cfm fan uses an "efficient PSC motor"...and costs $10+$12=$22 more, so it is a special motor giving it high efficiency.(apparently larger blades too) Wiki says : "PSC motors (permanent-split capacitor) are frequently used in air handlers, blowers, and fans (including ceiling fans) and other cases where variable speeds are desired." ...or for improved efficiency apparently. So I now say "it's the special motor"..... I also see the numbers are misleading, so read all the details.. the "1500" moves 1300cfm for a 1850sf attic, and says 3.4 amp, but also below says 2.6 amp! the one I bought. The "1600" actually is a 1600 cfm fan so it says, for a 2400sf attic at 4.5 amp, and seems to be 15"x15". The "2500" relates not to the cfm, but to the 2500sf attic! only 100 more than the "1600" model... with amps supposedly at 2.1, but listed as 21"x21". good luck.

Like Gino said, its neither. It's an SCR. A variac is a variable transformer. A 3 Kw variac would be big and heavy. An SCR just chops the sine wave to control the voltage to the motor. That is hard on true AC motors. It's better to lower their frequency and their voltage at the same time, which is what a motor drive does.

Brushless just refers to the motor itself not the drive of the scooter. The motor doesn't have brushes on the inside like a brushed motor would have.

It should be brushless but make sure it has a Velineon motor and you will know for sure. I believe the brushed version had a Titan motor. It is a great truck. Since it is 2WD it rocks wheelies.

Good sir, yes very good brushless motor! 4s so 4 x 3.7= a bunch of volts. Have good day.
