Direct... Most of the motors generally available out there (Castle 1415, 1515, Neu's, etc.) will drop in. I designed the motor mount with the slots, and the positioning of the surrounding structure, etc., to be able to accommodate a much larger motor. Also laid out the battery trays to be able to handle a LOT of battery. I think you'll find that there is no issues maintaining CG with any number of motor/battery combos.
If you want REALLY good performance, and a little less runtime (not quite as much a RACE setup)... you can go with the 1900KV motor instead of the 2100... This will turn more prop, and will still get you clearly into the 50's, but will be a little easier on the system and not quite so high-strung...
