That won't happen. I have ordered from Jeff many times with no problems.
He is well respected here on the forums, and you don't earn that reputation by not shipping the quality products you supply.

Note: for some additional history on what to do, and just as important, what not to do with the Spartan here is my thread from last season: http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...lly+got+to+run
You may get a few ideas.
JPriami and GeoVW had a couple really good threads going as well. You can learn a bit of something from pretty much everyone who posts their experiences on the forums. Use the search function, there is a wealth of experience and information here.

I just got in another tacon 3674 1700kv in today from hobbypartz.They have been out of stock for a while now.They made a few changes to the ends of the motor,looks different than my other one.
Heres a few pics.I wonder if the two different ends of the motor will affect anything at all?I hope the mounting will be the same.I wonder why they made the changes?
Kevin you have any ideas?

I don't have my 3674 1700kv handy to look at for comparison, but I don't see anything that would prevent you from mounting it without problems.

Are the end caps more open than on the old style? I actually prefer that to some degree. If they get wet you can drain them easily and soak them good with WD40 to help displace the water.

those are cooling holes..

Yes the openings are bigger on the new one.Also 2 less screw holes ont the front for mounting.Other than that looks the same.I also got a tacon 4074 2150kv and a seaking 120 from them too.I was thinking of getting another hobbywing 180 to go with the 4074 to try that on 4s in my mystic.Do you think think the 3674 would work ok in a motley crew with the 120 esc on 4s or 5s lipos?Just trying to get some ideas on some projects for the summer.

Btw have you ran the new style hull much yet? I still have my original old style with the tacon 3674 and 180 in it.(With your esc mounting plate-Thanks again !!)
Ran like a scolded dog last week and no issues so far.I have not put in the wire drive I got for it yet but that will be next on the agenda.
Thanks again for your help Kevin.
