Instead of having the shaft turned down to 5mm (maybe I like it thick ) I'm gonna try to set up my XLB with a 9mm wide plastic spur gear, along with a pinion of matching width.

Pinion is gonna cover the other spot.

I just received my 1112 in the mail today. Wow the shaft is hard to turn. This is going to be one torquey motor!

I can't wait to drop it in...too bad the damn mini E-Revo won't be here till Thursday or Friday.

Anyone know if you can trim the wires coming out of a Neu or no?

Strange that it's hard to turn, this 1521 is the easiest to turn of all the 4-pole/slotted motors I've handled. You won't be able to shorten the wires, they're part of the windings.

Thanks for the heads up. What connectors should I use? I'm thinking 5.5mm from Mike will be colossal overkill...what about 4mm?

[MetalMan]

4mm will be plenty! I bet you could even get away with 3.5mm, if that's what the stock ESC uses.

[BP-Revo]

I doubt the 3.5mm would cut it. The motor is rated for 600w continuous (1200w peak) on Neu's website. I am going to be running 4S lipo, and at that voltage a peak burst is equal to nearly 100 amps..
