(Off-Topic: How's the 100A ESC doing in the crawler?)
Funny story about the crawler esc. I have waited for the 17.5t motor since about 2 days after I recieved the esc you sent me. Just got the motor in yesterday. I have a feeling the guy put the wrong addy info on the package and then had to resend it when it came back to him. He was nice and included a hacker e40 sensored 13.5t motor for another 20 bucks. Good guy. I will have the motor and esc in the crawler early next week and give it a throrough bashing on the rocks.

Dont know if it will soften once the rotor is spinning at 30k rpm and the heat is high. Last question - do you think you will have enough clearance?

I should have enough clearance, The vectran is very thing, like human hair thickness, and it is just arranged in a bunch, not woven or braided. So it lays out flat when wrapped. I would not use this epoxt to hold a magnet together. Jb weld is much beter at handling heat than this epoxy, but is much thicker. You can thin the epoxy out with a heat gun, and get it very runny, but that also makes it dry faster.
