Understood. But let me pass on some lessons learned from personal experience. Don't put too much time or money into any given motor thinking that if you build it a certain way or with a certain recipe, that it will be the last motor for a while. I've done that, and then something random happens and that motor turns into junk and you have to start over. My advice, don't put that much time or money into a single motor build unless you are being paid for it (racecar/sponsors).

Just my old man opinion, but it comes from experience... shit happens sometimes and all that time and money is wasted.
