Default Signs of Brushless motor wear ?

If a Mega 16/15/3 brushless motor begins to wear out on a heli, would the heli show signs of less lifting power, or slower response when trying to lift rapidly. and possibly shorter flight time?

How many hours do you have on it?
More likely it is your batteries

The lipo is only one month old, but the motor is 2 years old, and I fly an average of 3 times a week

Thats alot of flight time but doesn't seem to be enough to wear out a brushless.

If the motor is overheated the magnets could demagnetize, causing a loss of power.
