The motor is on the car now. Fits perfect :)

Motorplate is made of a 4mm thick black anodized heatsink plate I ripped out somewhere some time ago.
Hope that helps a little with cooling. The plate is still a little big, will probably make it a little smaller and drill holes for weight reduction someday.

Slipper has been replaced with a HotRacing Heavy Duty slipper for the Revo 3.3. This one is even bigger than the Robinson Racing Slipper. What's nice is that the slipperpad is completely surrounded by the aluminum plate, so the pad cannot rip apart like it did on the Robinson slipper which only has a hex in the middle. Now I have free choice with spur gears, the RR Gen3 Slipper was only available in 38t. Drawback with the HotRacing Slipper is that it's heavier with a steel spur. Have now used a 36t Traxxas Plastic spur to keep it light. Hope it'll hold up.

Because of the motor with 1130 instead of 1260kv I had to re-think gearing. The initial plan was to grind down the motorshaft to 5mm so that I could use RC-Monster or Tekno-RC 29t and 30t pinions. Due to the lower KV the gears got bigger than planned (30t would only allow for 179kph gearing max.), had to cut the chassis and dremel the motormount quite a lot. But now I can fit 34t pinions without problems. Used a Kershaw Design 8mm Mod1 pinion, with that I can gear from 171kph to 202kph. Nice is, that I don't need to grind down the motorshaft. Bad is, that the Kershaw pinion is very heavy.

I guess the best thing to do would be to use an aluminum "pinion to spur adapter", it allows to use Traxxas spur gears as pinions. Assuming that plastic holds up, this would be the easiest, lightest and cheapest solution as Traxxas spur gears can be had everywhere for a few bucks. And you can swap around gears from the slipper to the motor.

Have also connected the ESC to a PC and made some screenshots of the software and settings for people interested.
