Damn dude, you keep squeezing those big motors in there!
Kershaw has a mount that raises the motor up a bit to clear the shock mount. Its one of his funky designs though and it doesn't use the stock traxxas cast piece. I'm thinking about making a new motor plate to raise the motor, but while using the stock cast aluminum piece as well. I'm sure Monster Mike could come up something much nicer and cleaner than I could though. Hint Hint
