However, my XLB is still looking for a suitable motor and it has a center diff... Thinking something like a 4025-4035 might be suitable. The diameter is my only concern, because the motor mount was designed for a 45mm maximum diameter motor with 30mm bolt spacing and M4 screws.

Ok, take a look at this.



What do you see?

Remake the motor shaft from a transmission input shaft. Then the slipper will bolt right on like normal. Both shafts are 5mm.

I can see alot more gearing choices this way. OR wouldn't it be different if the slipper was on the motor?

Hmmmm..........the possibilities.
