confused about motor mount spacing??

[JEFFRO503]

hey guys.......I have a mugen adapter i bought about a year ago , looks just like the ones Griffin is using here >>> http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...brushless+mbx5


Ok......i looked up the dimensions on some NEU motors (1515's) and the can size of the motor is that same size as a 540 sized motor........right? 36mm.

I have an older novak 5800 se motor 9which i beleive is a 540 size also , and it bolts right up to the motor mount , except the shaft would be to short to run on this mount , besdies being way to gutless to push an 1/8th scale buggy around.


My question is..........if the NEU motors have the same sized can , does that make it a 540 size? and are the bolt patterns the same , so a NEU motor would fit in this brace?
