Default RE: Brushless speed controller question

Not "apparently", DEFINITELY! The technology is completely different as indicated by the names "brushed" and "brushless". In a brushed motor the electricity is commutated by the brushes, in a brushless commutating is done electronically. I'm sure an EE could be more scientific (talking about "phases" and such), but I'm just a sport flier with 20 years experience in e-power.
