That's the only problem I see with the vehicle.

the L shaped wrench doesnt work?

i found out that if i'm slow and careful i can loosen and tighten the 2 screws just fine with it...

Or just remove the 5 screws holding the motor mount + center diff from the car and complete your motor gear swap outside of the chassis altogether.

Brushless Price

With China cutting Rare Earth exports (read neodymium magnet materials) by 35% Castle prices have sky rocketed. My MMM2200 went up $100 locally last week. Anyone else seeing the same?
