The AM 775 Motors do not have any vents on the front face to block. Now the sleeve might be slightly forward in the picture but not on the bot.

e. Shipping from Texas to MI is about 3 day delivery unless you are willing to pay for it and that doesn't help you on the weekend.

At the end of the day we tried to post this to be helpful.
