Im helping out a friend who bought a JS kit and is trying to put a 13.5 brushless motor (tekin and novak) and says that its IMPOSSIBLE to do it, that its no way to move the motor to put different pinions.

thanks,

The Novak will fit whether it is the SS or the Ballistic. If its the Ballistic he should have no problems at all. However the Tekin or similar like the Trinity with the sharp corner endbell will not fit.

Since the JS is plastic, he can also cut some material off the left side bulkhead to give more clearance for the motor.

BTW, I've had 13.5 and 17.5 Novaks in my JS and there has never been a problem with gearing for either. Perhaps your friend need to consider different spurs as well.
