@TraxxasTM33 Yes, all the "sealed" can motors have this issue. I have used the old LRP X11, Castle Creations, and Excelorin motos (made by Castle) and can say that they definately don't keep sand and fine dirt out. It eventually finds it way in there and gets trapped. All of them need periodic disassembly and cleaning. I have found that an open or vented can (like the LRP X12 and Trinity motors) actually do a better job by allowing the stuff to get out.

@mrcornbreadmonster No, it doesn't really "overheat" but it gets pretty hot. Current gearing is 18/87. Regarding the X12 motor -- the bearnings really need to be serviced regularly. I ended up cooking two sets of the standard X12 bearings before switching to the ceramic bearings they offer. They don't completely solve the problem (as they need regular cleaning and lube too) but so far they have lasted.
