I got Carisma’s version because I assume it’s higher quality than the HobbyKing one. I ordered it from Carisma’s Amazon.com listing.

On a first test run, it pulls real well on 2S with a 12T pinion. Looking forward to gearing it up :-)

It fits fine if you put the ESC on the chassis brace. It has 2.5mm mounting holes that fit in the stock motor mount with the stock screws. It also has 2mm holes that fit in the alternate location of the stock mount. It requires 1/8” (3.125mm) pinion gears, which are available from Robinson Racing. Or you can carefully drill out a Dromida 2mm pinion.

I plan to eventually upgrade to a Mamba Micro X ESC to use the hybrid sensored/sensorless mode, but it is running great sensorless right now.

Here’s how it fits:
