I just put the Exotek inline saddle kit in my Exotek LCG chassis and I'm sad to share that there is no way to fit the RX8, short of hacking the the RX8, modding the Exotek saddle kit, or both.

It's got my wondering if the following would work:

- flip the Exotek bracket around so that the "skinny" tab is towards the rear of the truck. (+1 mm)
- grind the "fat" tabs completely off and use the front of the LCG chassis as the battery stop (+5 mm)
- relocate the screw holes accordingly.

This nets out to 6 mm of additional space which might just be enough to squeeze the RX8 in.

...or I might just have to wait for the AE FT inline bracket, which will be my 4th attempt to work saddles with the RX8 without hacking my goods.
