Default Heat and Magnets

Guys;

OK, I'm going to do it again.

Since the topic of Heat and Magnets was brought up, this made the gears whirl again (although a little noisy).

In a Brushed Motor, the current flows through the Armature, so heat is created by the windings and is radiated outward into the Can and Magnets.

A BL Motor has the windings in the Can and the Magnets in the Rotor. Wouldn't the spinning Rotor stay cooler as the much of the Heat from the windings is being radiated outward through the Can. The BL systems that I've seen are basicly sealed, so there must be something to my madness.

Another advantage?
