Anyway, I haven't done any testing on this motor yet since I'm waiting for the MM to come out over the next week or two. But since it's such a low KV motor that will be running on 6s, I don't think it will have any trouble. My last Neu setup never got much hotter than 120 so this one should stay at 100 or lower. We'll see.

And that shield you see inside is actually metal and spins with the shaft - for what it's worth.
You should be fine. It's better to restrict the air just a little then to have a pebble ruin the motor. I really don't think much air will be restricted and if that was the case most of the Nitro or our one IC engines wouldn't run at all.
