Yeah, that is the purpose of the AX10 outrunner plate. I had some adapters made up myself so that one wouldn't have to swap tranny plates every time he wanted to use a different motor.
The novak motor is OK, it is the same as the integy 55t but higher priced.
I would suggest the AX10 kit if you aren't going to be competing, and even if you do compete it will be very worthy. Familiar with this site?
