When you mount the motor to the plate and plate to the frame as per manual do you guys find that the motor leads have to bend and sit on the adjustment bolt.This could cause chaffing with vibs.
The only way i could get the wires to exit away from the bolt was to flip the plate over and now the wires exit right under the battery tray.Would like to know what yopu guys are all doing.

Mine had no problems. I use a Zpower Z10A-3300 What are you running?

Standard motor (kit+motor+esc).
It may of been ok, but the wires just exit the motor as they reach the allen bolt head.some presure as to be applied to get the wires up and onto the heah of bolt,they can not lay flat then.looked like a possible problem.

Cut a length of fuel tube, slice it lengthways down 1 side and fit around the wires, problem solved :)

I did do the fuel tube fix but it makes the wires bend at a even more accute angle.
By flipping the mount the wires now exit under batt platform.just wondered if anyone else did this.

I had the same problem when I followed the manual. Then I saw a picture in someones gallery and realised I should flip the plate over and have the wires exit under the battery plate.
