As for brands

Nosram/LRP Dont really like water.
Novak good smooth motors they are more water tight than most but still advisable to put soem blue tack around parts.
Losi good all round motors good if your on a budget
Orion/Peak/Speed Passion Ok with water but very strong magnets so very torque not all ways desired in off road.

Just my opinion.

Your in for a slap now, lets not forget my XX4 with a LOSI Xcelorin 6.5 was probably the quickest motor down the straight (while most or all of the other A finalist's were using a 5.5) at the F3,4,5's, and it comes with a 12.2mm rotor as standard.
They aren't motors for people on a buget, they are just competitivly priced, and as good as any other brand.

I don't think the 5.5 motors will be unused next year, if lipo's are made legal, as I used a Losi 4.5 quite a bit this year, as it has a very smooth power delivery.
