My motor is a KMS 4120/06:

I get these at a discount 'cuz I work there. It uses a 6mm shaft, so I have a 6mm steel rod that I will turn down to 5mm where the dogbone cups attach.
Only problem that I have found with the MT2 so far, is that the stock chassis is pretty narrow. |
What's the diff gear ratio and the tire height on the MT2?
Hey, that looks VERY much like my motor. Let me give you a word of advice here. When you get the motor, remove the endbell. set it on a table and wick some RED locktight in around the stator and the bear holder. Let it sit for a day or two, then dry up what doesn't soak in. What does soak in, gets hard and creates a VERY secure bond in the absense of oxygen. Some outrunner manufacturers don't loctite both ends of the stator. This can spell for disaster if the stator breaks loose. Check it, it may already be done.
There are some outrunners that have a 5mm shaft that would be suitable, but it looks like you found a great one. I might have to give that one a try.
