I am using the largest esc/motor combo on the market as far as I can see. The novak activ8 and novak ballistic 8 motor. The motor is 43.5x71 and the esc is 40x54x31 and it is a super tight fit. I cut the side of the servo mount a little the make a little more room. Even with that modification there is still very little room between the esc and motor. I would say about 3 business cards could fit between them. I also had to get the esc to be solidly mounted to the esc mount because the flex in the chassis was making the esc and motor to hit each other on big jumps and hard cornering. I got it to work but using this large of electronics is not ideal for this chassis. It was designed around using a tekin system.

I believe the 54mm is with capacitors. The motor size does not include the shaft.

Here's an EB48 with MM setup. The motor is 75.2mm (T8=76mm) and the speedo is 48.3mm (HW=46.5mm). So if published specs are correct, then the HW 150A with T8 4038 should fit in the fore/aft direction without modification.

No doubt. Can't speak to other areas or tracks, but around here 1/10 buggy has gone from also ran to having their own event in maybe 3 months. I'm probably chewing on too many Tekno platforms already (just acquired NB48, and considering ?T48), but a 1/10 4wd would jump to the front of my wish list. The XB4 is a seriously nice piece of kit, but I'm sure Tekno's would be better.
FWIW - If you do it, I hope you'll consider a center diff build. I know Axial has done one in 1/10. It's small and runs like 30k oil, but belts or slipper clutches look like a PITA.

Dangit! I don't even have the truggy yet and just heard rumor that the track I go to may be in jeopardy of closing. 
Oh well, it's basher percentage just went form 5% to 50%. It's close to the house, races are on Sundays, entry fee is cheap, everyone is laid back,......this sucks.
