Motors fitting in the X5

[cutting edge]

I am having a bit of trouble fitting my motors in my X5 they all seem to touch the chassie on the endbell which melted a small bit of chassie sunday when my motor got well hot ( well when it throw a wind and locked up )

trying to fit a new motor today i cant get it to sit right without touching the chassie I notice most of the pics of X5's i have seen they all have V type motors in , Is this because of the normal type like i run always touch ?

Looks like i might be putting the brushless in afterall i was hoping to leave that in my XX4 as it is a nice fit in a XX4 and a bit of a squeeze in my new ride...........

Can i cut anymore of the chassie away from around the motor endbell area ??????
