only 6 slots in the CT are used for engine (you don't need to and cannot move the gyro). You also need 3 slots in the Right and Left torso (total of 12 slots). If you get "not enough slots message, check your side torsos.

i clear this Dragon, and there are "Dynamic Armor" and "Dynamic Structure" - Slots. Have I remove the Upgrades of FF Armor and Endo Steel?

Given that Endo Steel needs 14 critical slots and Ferro-fibrous also needs 14 critical slots you may need to make a decision about getting rid of one of those upgrades to fit your XL engine depending on your weapons loadout.
I would suggest getting rid of the FF upgrade to free up the necessary criticals if you are having space issues.

Ditch the FF it's a bad upgrade anyway, and you will free up all the slots you need.

If you install both FF and ES and an XL engine you will have exactly 15 slots left over for equipment (including HS).

So check out what you are loading in. I highly recommend using both ES and FF on engines greater than 325XL, as you have so few tons left that 15 slots is plenty.

On engines 300XL and lower, you should ditch FF to give you extra room to use up the 30 odd tons you should have free.
