What's more important is the TPA, wire gauge, and magnets. But what most people don't realize is your motor needs to be matched to your setup. It's not a good idea to just toss any old motor into a given gun. It's like matching an engine to a transmission and a vehicle weight.

Comm drops aren't really needed unless you're breaking in brushes.
What he said.
Two exactly the same motors, one with sloppy windings, you would see a difference on a bench. Not in an AEG really.

But tighter windings can also let you use larger guage wires, which in turn can take more current, and lets your put less turns on the armature ->faster motor.
