With the CF plate - the largest stock is 108.

If you grind the plate a tiny bit to clear the spur, you can fit a 110 in without any issues. The spur will protrude from the bottom of the chassis, maybe 0.5mm. Negligible. It lasts well. It's rare to completely ground the chassis on that point so your spur won't be damaged..

With the metal heatsink plate - you can fit the 110 without grinding as it has more clearance.

I don't know about the 112, but that would surely stick out of the chassis a significant amount.

I run my 4.5 and 3.5 with the 110 and there aren't any issues with it.

If you want to run lower than 110/26 then you'll need to grind the motor mount to allow the motor to move backwards towards the spur. Only a little grinding is needed. Both the mounting screw holes need to be enlarged towards the back, but also the curved side of the mounting plate - this is so the motor has clearance once it's moved back. It's obvious when you have a look at the car..

Cheers!
(Thank to Marcos who pointed me in the right direction to start with..)
