Dark Impacr/brushless fitment.

[FifteenthNeo]

Just went to fit my Vector motor into the DI and have come across a problem. The solder tabs that stick out the side are restricting the positioning of the motor against the motor plate. I have tried every position possible, but with no luck. The only thing I can think of is mounting a spacer between the motor and the moto plate, this does then allow the solder tabs to clear any restriction.
My concern with this method is that the motor plate wont be working as a heatsing dicipating the heat from the motor?
