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.

The diff ratio is 38/13 (2.923:1). For now, my tire height is 3.5" (Proline 2.2 Road Rages).

I haven't taken the motor apart yet since this brand uses snap wrings that are difficult to remove. But when I do, I'll put red loctite on it as you mentioned.
