Tekin 4038 2000kv fitment question

[Cgoldsmith2]

Hello! First build and first post here. I am trying to mount the Tekin 2000kv motor into the et48 2.0 and I cannot seem to be able to mount the motor with the tabs straight up. Is this a known thing or am I just completely missing something?

Thank you all for your help in advance!

What you can do is "clock" the motor: unscrew the front cover / bell, turn the motor by the amount you need and screw it back. That's a very simple operation, you can use the opportunity to check your motor's bearings. Don't forget to thread lock your screws back.

And don't forget that Tekin uses standard size bolts (not metric) here very often!

Thank you so much!! That did the trick! And thank you for pointing out standard vs metric on this!
