I am using the motor on a toy car.
It takes less electronic parts to control a DC motor than an AC motor. Also DC motors have higher RPM's than AC motors. The rpm of a AC motor is depended on the frequency of the voltage and the number of poles. The rpm of a DC motor is depended on the current and voltage applied to it.
on a DC motor you can control the direction fo the spinning, and on an AC motor they olny have one way of spinning.
