How durable each motor is depends on the design and quality of motor construction. That said, I believe the AM 500 / 775 series motors are also cooled by an internal fan slaved to the motor shaft. Stalling these motors should be avoided if possible. If you must stall, it is best to stall a motor at the lowest possible voltage you can get away with.
