In other words, the KB-45 will not fit without modifying the motor plate, but even then there probably isn't enough material on the mount to let the motor sit properly.
It will fit in an e revo, as the side mount has a 30mm hole spacing option that will fit a m4 thread bolt. Only issue is that the kb45 has a 6mm shaft, so pinion choice is limited. Mike may be able to get the mod1 pinions made with 6mm bore...

Kershaw designs has the 6mm bore pinions... in a few different tooth choices.

I have run the L can kb45 motors with good success. Not bad temps and they sure are powerful. They do draw some amps so good batteries are required.
