The website is right and wrong. In general what they say is true. However, any motor can be modified to operate efficiently at any rpm. If you are going so far as to rewind a motor or adjust the brush timing, you can change how the motor performs. Unless you have a lot of money to put into a motor, you won't be doing any of this. If you do have the money, thats very cool! Keep reading and learning.
