You may have unkowingly solved one of the biggest problems with the mini-x.

When the chassis of a mini-x flexes it causes a bind on the motor shaft that leads to motor overheating. If you make your coupling device out of something flexible (small surgical tubing CA glued between the shafts???) it should act basically like a u-joint which will alleviate the the binding and reduce the motor overheating. And as an added bonus you can use any aftermarket performance motor.

Good Job takumi!

Umm this may cause some of the overheating issue, but alot of it was solved when i changed my stock X's can to the Squat BB can which also has neo magnets. Neo mags have more power thus making the motor run cooler. Also the BB's make the motor spin faster and more free!

I Do like the idea Takumi had....and i may try it@
