Default Need a couple of brushless questions answered

1) Whats the part that "wears" or "breaks" in brushless motors?
2) What can/should you upgrade in brushless motors? Rotors? Bigger = better?
3) What is the relationship between temperature and gear? I have heard the both under gearing and over gearing will raise temps?
4) Timing. I have seen both timing done on the motor or programmed in the esc.
5) What should i look for in a 13.5 motor for racing in stock/super stock?

6) It seems like almost everyone wants to use the Tekin RS Pro. Why is that?

7) Why would you ever want sensorless over sensored?


I quit RC racing a few years ago, just as brushless was really taking off. Now, I need to learn all about 2.4Ghz radios, Lipo's and new brushless motors. The main thing that has changed is costs. The hobby seems to cost a lot more than it has in the past.
