I have no problems with brushless motors. But you have to have a matching set, that is designed for the brushless controller. Thats why they are typically more expensive. The issue that started with this thread was that thought that cheap airplane brushless motors would work in a ground application. I highly doubt it, but as another comment mentioned, its your money if you want to try those cheap brushless motors. It is my best recommendation, based on my experience in RC airplanes, and my studies in electrical engineering that the windings on those motors are too thin for the lack of air flow to keep them from burning out. But I have not tested them, so who knows until someone tests them out.
