I would suspect that Lonex motor brushes have far higher carbon content than the CA ones. An acceptable RC motor has Silver content in the ~30%+ range. Silver is not cheap, I suspect that LONEX is getting brushes from a different source as their older motors don't appear to have these kinds of issues.

The other possibility is that the commutator is damaged or not manufactured smooth or round. less likely the armature could be just slight off from being straight, or the bearing / bushing that it sits on isnt seated correctly.

Their was a post by KOS MOS on where to find replacement motor brushes. If it's a more sever manufacturing defect you are SOL unless you want to DIY a fix
