TLR should redesign the gearbox to shift the idlers up out of the way so that the motor can come back 15mm or so. Then they should look at mounting the rear tower in front of/over the gearbox so that the shocks mount to the front of the rear arms - may require a 1 piece tower and casing.
This means that the whole gearbox and motor assemblies weight is shifted even further back and the suspension is shifted forward over the axle.
Maybe its time to start mounting the suspension off the gearbox - F1 stylee???
