Ways to reduce dirt getting into traxxas 12 turn brushed motor

[NurturantQuasar]

I took my stampede 2wd bashing with my new 2s lipo I got for it. It kicked up a lot of dirt had crazy tourque and was fun. But I took it home and ran it on my street and it was low on power. I took it apart only to find out the motor was full of dirt and my esc was burnt up. How can I help prevent this from happening with my new motor?

no real way to stop this that is a flaw in the titan 12 t motors . the 2 slots in the can allow heat to escape buy also allow dirt in.. you either go with a sealed can brushless with a brushless esc..

You wouldn't be disappointed if you went brushless....
