EFlite 450 Motor mounting block question

[Gladius]

I'm trying to install the EFlite 450 motor in my 450 3D, to replace the stock 420 motor. The screw holes on the bottom of the 450 motor have 2 of the holes slightly closer together than the other 2. The holes that are closer are the ones that fit the mounting/bearing block in my heli. But if I use these holes, the wires run right into slot for the elevator servo, with no room to move them elsewhere. Do I need to buy a different mounting block that will fit the wider holes? Do I have to take my brand new motor apart and re-route the wires? (Is that even possible?)

It should fit. The only modification I needed was to dremel the mount slots out more to loosen my mesh. I usually take the servo out then squeeze it back in. I am able to fit it routing the wires over the plastic pin, and with the motor slid back farther than the frame permitted. If I can do that you should be able to get it. It's a tighter fit but it goes in without much tugging or bending.

If you don't mind me asking. What esc will you be using? Doing a conversion myself.

I'm using the CC Phoenix Edge Lite 50. Mostly because it was in stock at my LHS, and I didn't want to wait for the YEP 45 to get back in stock.
