Better order more than just one drill bit if you plan on drilling that. Get Cobalt! That's some really hard stuff!
The AXI I used on the Revo had the snap ring too. I didn't use it. The magnetic force keeps everything in line as long as you don't have a prop out there pulling on the endbell.
That looks like one tough stator. You don't have to worry about that one spinning on the bearing holder being key like that. Thanks for the picture.
