Re: 3" dia CIM motor

If you aren't seeing the other mounting option, odds are someone on the team you got it from has cut it off already. (The motors are supposed to have a stud on the face plate, to which a belt tensioner attaches. You could remove the tensioner and retain the stud.) Clamping is a pretty good option, though unfortunately, I don't think these motors had an alignment boss around the shaft.

Basic specifications are here (on page 8).

(For those who don't know, the mini-bike CIM was used on a Fisher-Price toy motorcycle, and provided in the 2006 and 2007 kits as FP801-005.)
