Nemo,
jwfoss, cgmv123, and Aren Sikmeier nailed it.
I didn't mean to be unintentionally confusing, but the OTHER motors sold as part of VEXpro (which all happened to be sealed) are much more comfortable in a stall situation.
You can see the individual performance at motors.vex.com
If you're speaking in gross over-simplifications and generalities:
"Air-breathers like running fast, and don't handle high-load, low-speed very well."
Sometimes gross over-simplifications are good enough for FRC.
