I don't believe the Tekin is any longer than any other 550.
I run the TenShock with my RX8 sideways (longer side going from front to back of the truck). Putting it with the posts facing the motor gives even more room.
If you look up the early press photos for the EB48, you can see it in the orientation you mention, but with an even larger 8th scale motor, the T8. You'll have plenty of room.
