i say screw the sb hybrid unless you have a shorter chassis (ie rsx) cuz the team orion micro elite stock motor and all other 180 motors need the longest chassis to fit.

the team orion motor has a simple circuit board on the endcap with three surface mount capacitors. it already has a wire and plug on it. the wire is a gauge or two thicker. the plug can be easily modified to fit the XMod plug. all i did was cut off the middle tab and cut 2 mm off the end of the plug so i could push the XMod plug all the way in.

in my 5 cell setup using the 10 tooth pinion, the motor actually got warm but the FETs stayed cool. i'd take it apart to advance the timing and take off 10 turns as Neuro recommended but i'm too lazy and busy with college to desolder the pcb off and take apart the endcap.

the S2 heatsink wont' fit this motor, i've tried. it was a tight fit using the stock motor holder but don't use the other motor holder that holds the motor closest to the wires.

the torque in this motor is incredible, even with a 10 tooth pinion. acceleration is almost instantaneous with enough traction.

i really recommend this motor and i feel it's the best upgrade in my xmod.
