And about heat, heat is far less detrimental to motor life than debris. And if you don't understand why then stop posting now because you clearly don't understand anything about how motors work lol
I can run my 'cheaply' made hand wound eagle force motor in my M249 to near hand-burning temperatures several times every time i use the gun. It's been through more high heat cycles than most vehicle engines over the last few YEARS, and because it's so well built it hasn't damaged it in the least. I've turned the comm pitch black from the amount of use, cleaned it up, still works like the day I got it.
It doesn't really matter how long you've used brushless motors in an RC application because honestly it has NOTHING to do with airsoft guns. We use brushed motors in a burst application. It's the difference between an F1 engine and a NASCAR engine.

High heat is bad for the windings as well the magnets
You airsofters are funny group of people. If airsoft did not introduce NiMH, you still be using NiCad, and now you are all over Lipo. Of course with out proper voltage cut-off safety circuits. In the electronic world not just RC, voltage cut-off circuits exist for Lipo circuits. If and when airsoft introduces it, you will get excited because it is new technology to you.
If and when a PTW maker introduces a brushless motor to replace the aging brushed system, you will again embrace it like it is revolutionary for the airsoft market. I won't post anything further on this motor thing, because the evolution will happen just like the battery technology.
