I just received my 2230 from Offshoreelectrics to find out that the measurements given was not correct and that the motor will not fit the car.

Here are the specs
- Given measurements:From this chart on Offshoreelectrics website the length of the 2230 1.5Y is 4.7 inches

- The car with the kit mounted has exactly 4.975 inches of space for a motor. This should leave enough space based on the above mentioned chart...

- The motor that i received is 5.491 inches long :( This includes the little peace of the shaft sticking out the rear of the motor.

Any ideas where I went wrong here?? Should be pretty straight forward.
