2 of the bolts snapped when i was mounting the motor and when i did get it mounted to test it,the motor is a dud.will not make a smooth rotation,it just staggers round. anyone please link me to a direct fit replacement motor?(either from here or giantshark) or a little higer kv is ok too,i will be running a plush 40a,1300 3s and stock prop but planning on getting a 6x4.also,do they do the motor mounting bolts on here as i only have 2 to hold the motor in and i cant find the right ones in local shops.

thanks.

Shudder rotation is caused by one of the three motor tho esc wires having a bad connection. Try this and it might save you a few bob
   I'm as happy as a very happy sandboy.

I've got some Radjet motor bolts. PM me if you get stuck and I'll pop them in the post. They're just M3 bolts though.
I'm here to help where I can- the sarcasm and insults are just a complimentary service I provide....

just a quick update...it would seem the motor is fine. whatever timing (default) i have set on the plush,the stock radjet motor does not like it. i plugged the rad motor into a hk ss 25/30 and it ran just fine.just to make sure,i then plugged it back into the plush and the shuddering returned. i have already put a 2200 kv into the radjet and i think i will just leave it in there,its hassle swapping it out again. i will keep the stock motor on hand in case i end up crashing the jet and need to replace the motor.... need to get myself a programming card for the plush now so that i can find out what timing it does like!

You can program the Plush without a card - you can just use your radio. Read the manual, it explains it all (download the PDF from the Files tab of product page).
