Brushless motors have more power. Also you don't have to replace the brushes when they ware out over time.

Per DeWalt on Sept 25, 2014 this model is BRUSHED. DeWalt will have brush-less circular saws available by the end of 2014

I am unaware if this is the latest version but I purchased this in Dec. 2012 as a gift because this is the one requested because it has the brush-less motor. Apparently, that is the best one to get. We have had a good experience with it but we prepared to buy simple replacement parts because with something that fast you will have crashes and have to replace parts. But non have been too expensive yet.

Absolutely brushed. As far as I know the brushless tech has only been implemented on some of their newer drills/drivers.

Yes the steering servo is, but since it comes with a brushed motor it is not, unless you upgrade to a brushless veleniom one by traxxas , worth the money!!!

I did not notice any difference in durability after half a year of pretty hard work with both of them. But I do feel a difference in torque: not the maximum, which seems to be more or less the same, but the brushless driver is much harder to work carefully with. It feels digital: one or zero, on or off. The non-brushless driver can be run fast or slow, depending on the strength of your index finger, but that doesn't work very well with the brushless one.

It comes with an axial vanguard 2900kv brush less motor made by castle creations. This is an excellent motor well matched to the vehicle. It is good for about 35mph on 2s which is plenty of speed. It also does not have major problems with heat if you run without the dust cover.

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.

Hello diana, the $230 traxxas bandit does NOT have a brushless motor but it can be upgraded to the brushless system for an extra $180! I would play with the RTR version that goes 35 miles per hour first then upgrade to the brushless 70 miles per hour which i believe is extremely fast! Especially for a younger child. Im 40 years old and 35 miles per hour is just fine for a little exitement without smashing or tearing the car up. Hope this helps!

There are two motors (one for head and one for feet). Both are DC, but it comes with a DC converter and electrical cord that plugs into AC wall outlet. It also has a convenient remote clicker with memory settings for bed adjustments.

Yes brushless fast and takes a beating I did manage to strip steering servo gears but holds up better than most to the abuse I gave it

Not sure. When I got it, it didn't come with markings. The stock one is a 370. The brushless seems to be more powerful.

I dont know how to explain it fully but basically the brushless has less parts coming in contact in order to work where as brushed does. These brushes over time bind or loose contact making the motor stop wotking or burn up. I am a brushless fan all the way. You dont have to break them in, they handle more power and higher rpm. They are more spendy but they last longer. Id always spend the extra money to get brushless. I hope this is of help

According to the Festool info it does not have a brushless motor. Having said that, I've used tools a ton and the only tools I've ever had to change brushes on are a couple of old 1970s routers I bought used. The Festool CSX is smooth as silk when running

The BG10 is the commercial model and has a second motor to power the brush. The brush on the 86T3 is driven off the main motor. Everything else is the same. For the average homeowner, I don't think you would notice a difference.
