That may be true of large industrial motors, but just look at all the other 300, 500, and 700 series motors in the kit and in other places, they almost exclusively use enamel coated wire. This is especially true of RC car motors, most of which are higher current than any that come in the kit and are 500 series motors.

Even the van door motor and the CIM that I've taken apart have used enamel wire, admittedly it was an old CIM. I don't think any motors in the KOP use fiber wire insulation, and I'd very much like to see one that does.
