Technical Reference for Mabuchi Motors

http://www.mabuchi-motor.co.jp/en_US/technic/index.html

Here's a reference guide that some may find interesting, regarding DC brush motors in general (and Mabuchi's product line in particular).

They've got animations and other pages which explain the theory behind motors. It also offers a lot of insight into the reasons why motors that look the same on the outside can be very different on the inside.
