Micro Spin 8000 motor won't fit in 130x frame?

[billryalls]

After a trade I acquired a spin 8000 motor that was supposed to fit on my 130x but there is no way I can get the pinion to mesh with the main without the motor actually pressing HARD against the front servo stopping it from moving. I thought this motor was already in use among 130x flyers. Am I forgetting something?

Been told I need to file that tiny little piece of plastic on the servo to make it fit. Seems sketchy but I'll give it a shot.

If you dont want to file the servo the file down those stands on the MH frame
If it will fit in a stock frame and clear than it will that frame as well just takes a little work

Cool, thanks! (Checks in the mail).

It is definitely a tight fit.. Took a bit of tinkering with... But mine did fit.. Barely.. It'll make it.

Oh wait! I remember now! I have the MH frame and I took sandpaper and sanded the aluminum servo mounts just a bit so that when mounted the servo wasn't as close to the motor.. Was teadeous due to the extremely small mounts.. Can't believe I almost forgot that.. Lol.. Get'n old.. Anyhow, that's what I did.
