550 motor size

[lordnikon]

It appears i may have dropped a clanger, i was assuming this is the size for a 550 motor to run in my new SC truck, it appears to be alittle larger. Does the below seem about right or is it to big and i have a new paperweight :blush:

Shaft A (mm)5
Length B (mm)69
Diameter C (mm)42
Can Length D (mm)62

550 would be for a 1/8th mainly, If its going in a 4wd SC truck then the can width is the same as a 540 just longer to alter the Torque band. If its a 2wd SC then any standard 540 motor would be fine.

Yeah its for a 4wd SC truck. I heard that the standard 540's can take a bashing in the SC trucks so opting for a 550 instead. Looks like the dimensions above are alittle big :(

42mm diameter is too big. 540/550 are both 36mm can diameter.

Managed to change the order to a 36mm can instead, so it looks all good now :thumbsup:
