Getting my Spartan put together slowly, and have trial mounted the motor and esc...the Leo 4082 is a pretty heavy can...would it be wise to purchase a motor mount for this setup, or is the power module cradle sufficient?

Many have run that motor on the stock mounts on the component tray.

If you can figure out a way to install a tail support, it couldn't hurt, but doesn't seem to be a necessity based on the success of others.
