The biggest change in the newer generation of motors was a 25% increase in brush
contact area on the commutator. This makes a significant difference in available
torque and also should slightly increase efficiency. There have been other more
subtle changes but the brush area would be making the most noticable difference.

between motors. Does anyone know what they changed in these new generation
motors to make them so much better?
