I forwarded this question to
Charlie
He asked that you e-mail him directly for assistance. He did comment that installing the rotor can be tricky, but he can probably give you some tips
I was also told that the only significant difference between this 5mm shaft rotor and the original, sintered one is the shaft diameter.

I thought this was a little odd at the time - seemed way too sloppy to me (I thought the fit would have been tighter through the windings). Over the last couple weeks, I transferred everything over to my G-Maxx chassis, and made complete mess out of the garage. SO last night while I was cleaning things up, I tried to put the old rotor into the sleeve the new one came in, and it wouldn't fit. I think they sent me a mislabeled rotor. I dont think this is that bad in itself, but now I'm a little concerned about what kind of damage I may have done to the sensor board in the motor when I was installing it.
Has anyone replaced their rotors? If so, do you still have the old one(s) and can measure the dia of them? Is the 6.5 a smaller diameter?
