Brushless hpi baja rc-monster

I actually thought about buying that ESC too but somehow I know I'd be disappointed if Castle put out the car version the day after I bought it so I opted to wait a little more.

Two questions:
1. Did you make a flat spot on the motor shaft to get a better grip when mounting the pinion?
2. Do you plan on dust protecting the Neu motor? If you drive off-road you may very well get a stone or gravel into the large gap in the motor.

The car looks very nice and I hope you will post some vids when you get it out!
