Hi I purchased a couple of geared drive motors for the tracks of my build, does anyone know how to tell if these motors are brushless or not ?
Thanks

Terry,

If there are only two terminals on the motor, they are brushed. If there are three terminals on the motor, they are brushless.

Al's right, and I'd actually be a little surprised if they made any brushless gear head motors. At least not in the typical can motor sizes we use on trucks and construction models. How big of a model are you building?
