OK Chris. It wasn't that difficult. I just have to use needle nose to hold the wires insted of using my fingers. And I had to cut one of the wire ties to let the wire reach. Problem fixed. I did like the motor. It spooled up a little slower at first than I'd like it to for off road but once it got up there it had some good top end. It was very smooth and I ran four runs before we got rained out and the brushes still had serrations and the comm looked very clean. It was spooling up quicker as the brushes broke in more and more. I think one or two more runs and it would have been at it's best.
