Where did I ask anyone to fix anything? I also didn't say it's impossible to modify your car enough to make it work. Anything is possible. The advice I have given is based on first hand experience - I own a Recoil and I own 3 Mongoose systems which are fitted in various other cars. It's not only that the Mongoose shaft is too short, there also seems to be no pinions available to make it work. The Mongoose is also a 26mm can size motor, its so fat that you have to cut the Recoil chassis to even have any chance of getting it in there. That put's it out of contention for most people who do not want to go and bolt things on or cut things up. So why don't you put your money where your mouth is, buy one, make it fit and prove it can be done and stop being a big mouth about things you don't have first hand experience of?
Just because the ESC is capable of working with 11.1v doesn't mean it's a good combination or that it will last longer than 5 mins. All brushless motors have a maximum RPM rating. As voltage directly effects RPM in brushless systems the more volts you put in the faster the motor rotor will spin. At some point the magnets will break up and kill your motor and ESC at the same time. That worse case scenario - you will also not be able to gear the car to the correct gearing to keep the system cool so if you take a bit of time and read all the stuff already available on the net you will realise that Charlie from Novak has already commented on people killing the 13.5 motor on 3 cell with stock gearing on their first run. Blown ESC's.
When people write recommendations for other people on the web you would hope they would use their brains (obviously not in your case) and think about the advice they give. It's not as simple as 'will it work'. Will it work for what, a 10 second speed pass. Great. If that is what you are after you might just be lucky enough to get away with it, once. Why do you want to risk killing a brand new Mongoose system for a 10sec speed pass when you can buy much cheaper sensorless motors (such as a C4 9200kv) and do exactly the same thing?
You might be surprised that some of us actually use our systems to go racing with. Part of racing is looking after your equipment, setting it up so that it's reliable and then finishing races by which we improve our abilities. Cutting a car to pieces, bolting on alloy bits which affect the handling and then blowing a brand new system is not what I would imagine most people really want to do. Just a select few elite cool dudes like yourself.
