    Seems to me that on a brushed motor (this is what I recall from my brushed motor days some 20 years ago), power is controlled by 2 factors: the # of turns and the diameter (gauge) of the wire used on the rotor. The less turns (wraps), the greater diameter of wire that the rotor can accommodate. These 2 things reduce the resistance and therefore increase the power of the motor. My guess is that doing only one of these things (reducing the turns in this case) will only have a marginal effect on motor power.

    For the price of brushed motors now, I would just look at getting one that has the number of turns you want..
