Once you get your motor mounted see if you have room for the esc to live behind the motor. Probably will and it should balance the chassis better with a shorter path for the motor wires as well.
Depending on the weight if your pack and motor. May balance better left or right side. Before you wire it up and mount the esc, mount the motor, put you pack in and see if it balances better with the esc left of right.
Not an exact science, but close enough... tie some fishing line or string between the two towers and pick it up near the center. Leans left or right? Move esc accordingly.
Have fun with your e buggy!
