Default Orion Motors in X5

Last night when i was trying to mesh up the pinion and spur on the x5 i noticed that the orion brushless motor was touching on the chassis thus making it hard to spin the motor to get it closer to the spur. Is this common with all brushless motors and is it safe to cut away the chassis without weakening it too much.

O sorry, i get you now, it's hitting on the side bit? God knows then....
If it's not much i wouldn't think cutting as bit out would harm it.
