Did anybody find out anything about mounting one of these? Size screws and hole spacing?? Will they mount in same place as the 2200?

Pretty sure it was said in this thread or another that it has standard spacing, 3mm (standard) screw holes, and a 5mm shaft.

so can we tap them to 4mm without voiding out warrentys ( and by we i meant people who know how to remove the end bell and use a tap and die?)

Castle uses a good bit of common sense when dealing with warranty claims, if you tap the holes out and it fails as a result of something not related to the tapping it shouldn't be a problem. If you run the tap in, push through the ring protecting the coils, and into the coils you need to buy a new motor but as long as you don't cause the problem I don't think you'll have a problem with a warranty claim.

I'm on dial up right now so I am not taking the time to check the site again, but it doesn't make sense for them to release a motor aimed at our market with a odd sizing and spacing. It would be wise of them to make these motors bolt up like any other, I bought one without a doubt in my mind that it would bolt up to my RC-M conversion.
