Maybe this has been covered, but I don't remember. Whats the largest motor (diameter and length) that will work with the stock motor mount. I am currently running a 36mm can on my conversion (didn't come with the new 8.2E mount) with a BCE nitro chassis and the foam pad installed. Doesn't seem like I could fit a larger motor, but could if I spaced the center diff mounts up a little more. I know a Grid or elite mount would solve the problem but I am saving the "extra" racing budget for my new Novarossi engine for next years nitro season

What you want is: 1) 8.2 wing mount 89540 2) 8.2 front arms 89550 3) 8.2 rear arms 89551 4) 8.2 F sway bar kit 89530 5) 8.2 R sway bar kit 89531 6) R upgraded shock tower 89484 7) F upgraded shock tower 89483
This will change few components of suspension geometry making car much more stable. New 8.2 wing mount takes care of having to modify old wing mount.

Like ChrisH02 said. 6in is plenty. I use a 6in on mine. It's only short a few inches. I just got my rx8 back from Tekin and my wire is longer then before. mine will reach all the way into the bottom of the radio box now. I could probably go with 3in and be fine. But I had the 6in from before I sent it in.
