That is kind of what I was thinking too. If Mort's 5% rating is true I don't think you'll be burning through brushes that fast at all.

Oddly enough I know a guy from our local EV club who works at Helwig in their test lab. He got me some new higher efficiency brushes for my mower's motor. Great guy to talk to about motors.
