Here is the motors I'll be testing. Still waiting for batteries so no telling how long I have to wait until I get to try them out.

Have you figured out a way to fit the 2230?

Only way I can see is to dremel away some of the area highlighted in the attached picture. If anyone has another approach please let me know!

I'd ask Monster Mike to make a custom side peice. (the peice that interferes with the motor)

I believe dremeling the highlighted area will sacrifice structural integrity.

Having a side peice available for 2230's seems like a good idea?

If Mike take custom orders I'd love to buy two side pieces that could accommodate large engines. I have to also take the outermost part of the connectors on the Lehner to make room for it.

Mike - do you do custom jobs? If so please let me know and we can arrange something.

Looks like its in there now - whats the issue? Motor wire attachement? Have you tried rotating the can to see if you can get the wires into a better position?

The images I posted earlier with the motor just placed (not attached yet) is of the 2215 and not the 2230 which is the real issue.

This is why I would like to know if Mike takes custom orders. I don't mind paying more as long as it works properly.

It looks like you have a version of the 2230 with the front cooling fan, you might want to contact Neu to see if they can change/replace/trade it for a version without the front cooling fan. My 2230 does not have the fan, and it measures in at ~4.75" in length.

That could definitely be an option. I was not aware that there were two versions of the same motor as this is not described in any product materials.

I will try and give them a call later today. Thanks for the info!
