The eyelets on the motor wires are a bit large for the overall area which can lead to them coming in contact with a tiny component between the motor screw holes. If this occurs you will instantly release all the smoke from the PC board rendering it useless. The best solution is to cut the eyelets off the motor wires, strip the ends back on the wires and properly "tin" them. Then de solder the ends from the stock motor and re solder them to the 70T. Pay close attention when re installing the motor screws. when you insert the screw into the hole rotate it slightly to the left until you hear or feel it drop into the existing screw threads. Then tighten the screw. If you do not follow this procedure you will soon be replacing the chassis as you strip out the attaching points.
That's great feedback. I appreciate the response!
