just thinking outloud here, but I can flip the motor mount around and have the motor facing the other way, the spur clears the chassis, and the motor is moved slightly to the servo side, my main worry would be the motor clearing the body, but I could alwase cut a hole and get more air over the motor, then move the esc to were the motor is now via plate between the batt boxes 
I guess I will play around with it when I get the motor in  |
I would put the esc in the back. You can make a small mudguard out of some scrap plastic to keep the dirt out. If you put the motor in the front it will stick out of the body and the first time you flip it over you may damage the motor and mount.
