how durable?

[revopqrs]

so ive had 1/18th brushless stuff, but it never really had to withstand the abuse a 1/10 or 1/8th truck.. im planning on installing a brushless system in my emaxx, but im wondering how well the brushless motors handle dust and dirt? our track can be really dusty at times... ive ruined close to a grand in nitro motors this summer our there..:mad:1 filters falling off, boost chamber fell off, you name it, it happened!! very painful.. but ya gotta pay to play i guess..

but i heard someone mention the fact that fine dust is bad for electric motors? i hadnt even thought about it...
is that true, will the dust hammer a brushless motor? come to think of it ive never seen a brushless truck running in dusty conditions?


heres a pic of my jammin fte on the dusty berm just to give ya an idea what im talking about... purdy dusty!!:027:



dont tell me to water down the track either... its not an option, its way back on a lot and theres no water available.
the rest of the track is pitchers mound clay, but that one berm we made out of dirt we had...

this is what the rest of the tracks dirt looks like.


should i be worried about a brushless motor? or any electric for that matter?:032:
