Hey guys, I picked up a cheap sensorless Hobbywing motor and ESC from Amain. I just tried installing the motor and discovered it doesn't fit! There's nothing in the manual stating any diameter specifics. This is a 540 motor, the edges are a sharp 90deg. so it hits the upper deck, too much to lightly modify the motor or upper deck. I have a 96T spur and a 35T pinion and the space is huge.
I'm gonna have to return it. Is there a specific type of motor I need to order? I now realize I'm gonna need a motor with chamfered edges. I was hoping to do this on a budget to get my feet wet and have some fun, then go with something much nicer later on.
