neodymium magnets vs ferrous magnets... the lonex will have more torque and more power efficency.

however... you can use any motor brushes in the lonex motor so you can scavenge brushes from a junk motor.

Also make sure your AB is off... though I don't think that substantially increases wear on the brushes but you never know. I cooked an armature maybe due to active braking but not the brushes.
