I purchased a Tacon 3660-3000kv motor from hobbypartz.com in September 2014 and I finally got around to pulling it out of the case. The reason I pulled it out was because my 5mm TFL collets didn't want to slide all the way down the 5mm shaft on my Leopard motors and I thought it would be easier to see what was going on my using the Tacon motor rather than pulling the leopard motors out of the hull. This is relevant only because the TFL collets are biting on the the shaft making it hard to pull them off.

When I tried pulling the TFL collet off the shaft of the Tacon motor, using my hand only, the motor shaft pulled out. I pushed the collet back down on the shaft and tried pushing the shaft back into the motor and the plastic backplate (held on my 4 screws) pushed out the back of the motor as the 4 screws broke free of the aluminum case. I finally got the collet off the motor shaft but the brand new Tacon motor is now a junk motor...or maybe it was a junk motor to begin with?
