Randy,
That would work just fine, but typically use bullet connectors embedded in the end cap. That way you can just unlplug the motor to completely remove it for replacement, maintenance or upgrade.

As a point of thought, you've eliminated a linkage seal, but now you need to deal with an electrical seal. Certainly doable, but bear that in mind.
In your book Bob you mention the brass rod through the bulkhead for the servos would that method work for the motor or is the current to high?

Hellfire Lava Waterproofing kit 15ml polyurethane conformal coating Want to make sure your electronics on your Rc car are protected against water? Then this is what you need! We have been using this product since 2015, and still use it on any new receiver, or other electronic that isn't factory waterproofed. So far

Great replies, many thanks. Been using the big hitec waterproof on some other projects yet good to know others are as well.

Gregory

Water proof Servos and motors.
Quick question has anyone experimented with water proof servos and motors? Thus limiting the WTC units to RX's and pump systems and some water proof connectors.
