The competition consists of two 10 minute runs and a 10 minutes practice run. Hardly enough time to ruin a sealed motor. I'm sure most motors within our price range would have trouble in the long run, but that's one of many reasons the Mars rovers cost a lot of money

Thanks for the recommendation Aren. I'll be sure to do my research on brushless motors before buying anything. Do you have any motors in mind?
