Ahh cool, thanks. The motor I got is a blue can with no machining on it. It is a 2250kv. It has the plugs like yours but the can is different. That is what I figured also. It seems to be the only way. You never have any problems with the wires hitting the spur?

Basically 12.9 steel (typically "black oxide") > stainless > aluminum
A very common misconception that those are actually an "upgrade" in many situations.

Here's a friendly reminder for all of you. Check your out drives on a regular basis. I snapped a rear drive shaft last weekend. The out drive looked fine on the surface, but inside it had a groove deep enough to completely swallow the pin on the drive shaft.
I think I was still using the original set of out drives that came with the car for the F/R diffs.

Hey guys, just finished up my build on my EB48. I must say, it was a very smooth build. I had one issue and wanted to check before I messed with it.
The long screws (40mm) that attach the hinge pin brace (Front and Rear) are giving me a fit. They slide in, and thread approximately half the way and tighten up to the point of wanting to round the screw head tight. I pulled apart the diff case and even ran a pin (longer than the screw) through the whole and it is completely lined up. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Attached is a photo of the screws I am referencing.
Thanks!

I'm 99% sure they were the original stock out drives. I never got a replacement set from Tekno. I replaced the couplers on the center diff and rear pinion a few months ago. Surprisingly the front out drives were still in decent condition. I replaced both F/R with the lightened versions last night. Hopefully it won't sound like it has rocks in it anymore. 
Were yours the original outdrives from a first run kit? My outdrives from the first run kit did wear out pretty quickly, but the replacement harder version have been holding up really well. (not the lightened versions, just the 2nd batch of regular outdrives) They hardly show any wear at all after months or racing on them.
But now you are gonna make me look closer at them...

Thanks! It's for racing and this is what I can do with the paint.
It's brother is similar. I only had red shock covers at the time so I used them. I have some green ones now.
They are basically matching the colour of wheels and wings that are available.
