Default front motor mount conversion problems

Ok, so I have a slight problem?

I bought an RTR wrangler and ordered the following,

SSD housings,
Vanquish cvds,
Vanquish frame mount cms
rc4wd rampage front bumper.

No issues with the bumper so that was a bonus, I figured I would have a crack at making the links for the rear 4 link and front 3 link with panhard rather than paying through the nose for pre made links.

That all went well, except I think I rushed things as now I don't think I have enough room to do my divorced driveline. All the front motor mounts for the scx ten all seem to need the steering servo mounted to the front "across" the chassis rather than "along" it like the Vanquish mount does.

Im still pretty new to this side of rc, are there any other options for a front mount motor rather than the GCM style?
Id rather not change out the Vanquish frame mount cms as its really well made. Plus kinda expensive in AUD to replace lol.

Oh, Also I realised that after I installed the SSD housings its thrown my gearing back to front. I reversed my throttle on the DX4C, but will that affect my drag brake or anything? Is there a better way to correct the gearing direction?

Thanks in advance guys.

Had a good look over it but I dont think that will do what I want as I was particularly wanting to use a 2/3 speed trans and hi/lo transfer case.
Are there any other options out there?

There's a 3 speed and a hi/lo transfer case? Where's about? I know of 2 speeds like the ax2 rc4wd and the dinky/gcm/rc4wd transfer cases.

The transmissions I was looking at were
*3 Speed Full Metal Transmission (Black)
^ three speed, large unit though
R3 Scale 2 Speed Transmission
^ two speed,

Transfer case I was looking at was this one
Helios 2 Speed Transfer Case (1.8:1 / 0.7:1)

The plan was to use my two spare channels on the dx4c for both shift servos.
But im starting to think that for any of these transmissions to work Im going to have to use a different cms than the Vanquish that I have. :(
