I'm 99% sure the heat would not be a problem. Mini's engines are small and do not generate a lot of heat. Also see other drones that are using a lot less exposed (and powerful) motors and have no problem.
But dust could be a problem for some. It depends how/where u use your drone.
If you want, think at pc fans - most of them operate at high temps (cpu coolers for ex). Almost always the dust will kill them waaay sooner than the heat ;)
PC fans isn't a good comparison as they are constantly exposed. By their design, in most cases have fans that suck air in and across the high temp components and fans that help blow that air out of the case. They are designed that way. Unless of course, you are using water cooling. But that's an entirely different subject.
Any motor that is placed on a drone is designed that way for a reason. If it was meant to be more closed off, it would be. And yes, they do generate heat. All motors generate heat.
Like I said, in the end, for me at least, it's going to be a wait and see kinda thing to see the affect, if any, that they have on the motors. |
