Novak HV won't Work in new E-maxx

I love traxxas always will, but putting their new e-maxx with a aftermarket motor bolted up that won't work if you buy it is pretty deceiving ....

Is there a way to flip the motor around and mount it with the front of the motor facing backwards? They used to make conversions for the E-Maxx like that to move the mass of the motors backward. I don't know if it would work here or not, just an idea.

Brijar!!!

To solve problem with shaft length motor manufactures need to flip front motor cover and have bearing sticking out like Lehner or Plettenberg motors, as well as brushed motors. That solution has as many "+" and "-", but does help with shaft (plus extra room inside motor can for windings and magnets), not good for mounting screws...

For Traxxas: why not to redesign slipper, put spur gear in place of slipper?
- not easy access to spur, Ok - it is great spur
+ dust from slipper ends up being further from motor bearings
+/- access to slipper itself
