HOW DOES A BRUSHED MOTOR WORK??? An electric motor is all about magnets and magnetism: A motor uses magnets to create motion. If you have ever played with magnets you know about the fundamental law of all magnets: Opposites attract and likes repel. So if you have two bar magnets with their ends marked "north or positive" and "south or negative," then the positive end of one magnet will attract the negative end of the other. On the other hand, the north end of one magnet will repel the north end of the other (and similarly, south will repel south). Inside an electric motor, these attracting and repelling forces create rotational motion. A brushed motor requires brushes on both the negative and positive sides of a motor endbell with springs applying pressure to the back side of the brushes, pushing the brushes against the commutator or armature. The electric current is pulled from the battery pack by the ESC "Electronic Speed Controller", which in turn powers a negative and positive wire hooked directly to the electric motors tabs from the speed controller that contacts the electric current through the brushes which touch the comm on the armature which power the poles.
