I'm running the same. But my motor wires are touching the drive shaft. So I'm going to angle them on the motor tabs so they won't touch anymore.

Just L@@K at how I wired mine up. All you have to make sure you do is maintain the correct angle coming off the motor and ESC leads and you will clear everything just fine. i was a bit concerned but once I soldered the first lead to the Motor & ESC it was easy to see how well it was going to work.

I will post some pictures of my set-up tonight using a RS Pro and a standard receiver. I have a lexan cover that goes over the part of the ESC and receiver that covers all the wires and just cleans up the overall look of things. Kind of a out of sight out of mind set-up.

The motor wires go over the front drive shaft with enough of an arc to get the center gear out still.

No prob, I am sure most everyone knows this, but the shock cap is a one way design, there is a larger side, and a smaller side. Be sure to push the pivot ball in the larger side, I believe its marked with a wide ring around it if I am not mistaken.

And that larger side is supposed to face forward so the shock caps can't pop off and past the nuts.

confused here.

so the smaller side goes toward the shock tower? if you're using the stock standoffs, that would mean that you're putting the pivot ball/cone/thingy into the smaller side. correct?

From my experience it doesn't matter which way the cap is when running the quick change mounts. With the stock shock mounts the caps will only mount one way.

I agree, I have never had any issues, and my OCD causes me to run the bleeder screws towards the outside for some reason regardless of which way the pivot ball faces..
