They stick out that far? I dremeled the crap out of my tranny case so that heatsinks will fit on my Castle Creations 5700 motor (the same heatsink that Tamiya sells for the TT-01). That fit just fine.

Hmmm... When I tried to add the smooth can 4800kv motor to my cart on their site, they said it was out of stock, and that's it. Couldn't backorder it or anything through the site.

I kinda want the 4800 too, since I don't run more than 2s lipo (at least for now).

The site said the heatsink is bonded on, not built into the case like a Neu. Think I could remove it if the need arose? At the very worst, I suppose I could dremel the fins down some too.

Thanks for the heads up paralyzed. I think I will try it out with my dremeled up transmission first, and if there is still clearance issues, then I'll see if I can remove the heatsink or dremel it (or parts of the transmission housing) down where I'm having problems. Alternatively, I could try to return it I suppose in exchange for the smooth can. Being that I live in Florida, heatsinks are my friend (and is the reason why I chose the finned version).

Also forgot to mention; on the "customer comments" section of my order, I put down that it's going into a Traxxas Rustler (if that means anything to them, I dunno!). Maybe they'll notify me of something. I'll also just try a big pinion to help keep the motor as far away from the tranny as possible...:D
