Your reasons are transplanted from irrelevant sources.

How much debris is reality can get into the bottom of the grip.
Off-road RC motors are within inches to the dirt on the track and during a race, unless you are in front, your motor is eating dirt and dust during the whole race.
Unless you are dragging your PTW on the ground, the about of debris to damage it is not going to get in.
I will open up as much air flow to the motor in the grip and run it like that permanently. Unless the motor dies of natural causes which PTW motors are known for, I don't expect dirt and water to kill it. The other poor design from the beginning, two piece magnet frame design which allow for misalignment of the endbells.
