Default Volcano SV engine

hey, i just purchased the volcano sv about a month ago and pretty much have the basics down. I was wondering whats the largest engine that could fit in the volcano sv chassis, or should i just get a 1/8th scale?

get the os .18 cv-r, its a world apart from most stock engines, i replaced my hpi .15 nitro star in one of my other cars and put the os in and it was a crazy difference. I am pretty happy with the .18 that comes with the redcats so i wont change them unless i need to.

i put the os .18 cv-rx with the rotary carb and pullstart in an hpi rs4 3 on road and what a difference, i would reccomend it to anyone to put in their vehicle, i needed to get the motor mounts since the hpi engine has them built on the motor.
