You are correct although I was very careful and did not have to remove the rotor out, just the front and end caps and replaced the bearings. Although you never know....

A RC Dude, don't think castle still have rotor for these motors anymore, and as brian015 pointed out the XO motor is different. A good price used rotor is my best bet (thanks to othello)

othello, pm sent. And on the subject of motors, how is the 4092 fairing out? similar to the 1717, more powerful or less?

Or would an XO 1717 motor be a better replacement? a 5692 would be much sweeter
