LOL.....The yes applies to the off topic part. They have a similar pressed end plate, I'm not sure about suffering the same design. If you mean motor leads epoxied to the can prior to exiting the hole, then yes. The end cap just pushes back on. It is for this reason it is a good idea to get one of mikes heat sink/motor clamps. It helps keep the end cap on. A light file job on the sharp edges should help keep the insulation from getting cut. If you really wanted to you could enlarge the hole and make room for insulator but I think it's more than you need. Mike has also advised to try and secure the leads between the esc and the motor to prevent movement of the wires. Sorry for the assumptions.

LOL, thanks. I was just a little confused as which 2 questions "yes" applied to. :) I did already order an RCM heatsink along with a bunch of other stuff (but it's all on hold until some custom bones and those pesky 8xl's come in). I just want to think of what I'll need to do when everything gets here. Too bad the RCM heatsink doesn't come with a little pigtail at the end so that you can zip-tie the motor wires to it to support them. When everything arrives I'll have to see if I can devise such a thing for a little insurance.
