I cut the side of the servo mount a little the make a little more room. Even with that modification there is still very little room between the esc and motor. I would say about 3 business cards could fit between them. I also had to get the esc to be solidly mounted to the esc mount because the flex in the chassis was making the esc and motor to hit each other on big jumps and hard cornering. I got it to work but using this large of electronics is not ideal for this chassis. It was designed around using a tekin system.
The T8 2000kv is 5mm longer than the Ballistic 8. What's the full width of the Activ8? I'm guessing the 40mm Novak specs doesn't include the capacitors, which is misleading. The HW is 46.5mm wide.
