Look on the "top" side of the motor (The side with the lable). You are looking at the top of the "U" so you should just see the ends of the clip sticking out past the magnets. I know I'm not saying it well, but I dont have a motor apart right now to take pics.
It's basically between the two magnets against the top of the can.

This works great, I did it to a stage 2 motor with 5th cell and 8 tooth and the car absolutely flies. Throttle modulation is key though, most find my car almost undrivable because it will just spin unless you are light on the trigger.
What pinion pullers are you guys using? I broke a $13 one on the first pull.
I use a needle to get the U pin out to the point where I can grab it with pliers.

I tried this mod on a Stage 1 white motor (stocker). I reversed the magnets as per the directions but after installing everthing had the motor spinning backward problems. So I took it all apart and swaped them left for right and it worked correctly. I must say this setup has lots of low end and could probably climb a steep grade, but top speed is terrible. Also I noticed that with the motor connected to the cars electrical and in my had that it had a higher top speed in reverse than in forward. Do the magnets have any effect on that? I will be taking the magnets out and installing them in a stage 2 red to see how that works.

Ya I am going to give that a try as soon as I swap out everything. I think the combo I will try next is PN racing BB can with Stage 2 armature with advanced timing, SBP magnets, and either the Stage 2 end bell or the BB can (I havent compared the brushes yet). I will say that even though I have bean disappointed in my efforts so far, at least I'm having fun.
