I actually have the direct drive setup sitting right here. The problem was that it came with a new motor mount and when I was having problems with the g110 it spun like nuts it landed and snapped it in half. The motor I have will not fit in the stock holder because this motor is all the way round with no flat spots on it. I think I can just make some cuts to make it fit but I am just going to wait till I get the right part for it.
