We really think titanium isn't really needed here since the current design (coupled with the rod ends) is so durable and already so lightweight.

We made the ESC tray to fit a Mamba Monster footprint and smaller so that ESC you listed should just fit (2mm over on one dimension).

Street price is projected around $525-$550 similar to other high end 1/8th eBuggy kits.
Anyway We can get a picture with the Mamba Monster ESC mounted? Reason I ask is that could give me a better idea of what space is left, assuming a Tekin buggy sized motor of course.
