Question SCX24 new motor too big

Hi

I burnt out the motor on my SCX24(yellow jeep variant) and ordered a new one.
Managed to fit in ok except for the fact it is much longer than the old motor.
This means I am unable to mount the battery cradle properly as the motor is blocking one of the 3 mount points.

Has anyone experienced this?

Looks like I could cut off one leg of the cradle and mount on 3 points. Would it be secure enough? Thanks

Thanks, the battery will be secure enough on just 3 mounts?

Yeah, unless you dump it off a cliff lmao. You can always add another velcro loop if you feel its needed.

wondering if the new 66t motor is any better, its very discouraging when it only last a few runs.
