RC8Te motor mounting trouble?

[marl226]

I was finshing up my new RC8Te truggy build and when i was mounting the motor a Mamba Monster 2200kv that's where the trouble started. it seem's like the 2200kv is to big for the RC8Te's motor mount or something is wrong. There's a pad that is recommended to put under the motor area but the motor's heat fins are pushing agaist the pad and almost cuting it throw to the chassis. i afraid to remove the pad because the motor and chassis may get damaged hitting each other. My question is has anyone esle had this problem and is there anything i can or should do about this because it just don't seem right? i have another question if someone could help. My RC8Te kit came with zero offset wheels and i allready have a set Proline's 1/2 offset wheel's with tires. would that be to much of a offset when the RC8Te's hubs are extended allready? i am new to the 1/8 scale truggy world.

Thank's
