If you're familiar with the TT-01, you know you can't take out the motor once everything is installed without taking out the entire rear suspension
u must have a different tt-01 to me then i just have to unscrew 2 screws and remove motor mount and im good to go u shouldnt need to remove any suspension parts at all.
and the ESC i had to use the extra battery box to setup mine then unhooked it and havnet used it since to save weight it all runs off the main battery.
as for the warped motor sounds like your motor mount is twisted or something,try the standard plastic one in there.
