Yeah, this is where you probably have to face the fact that LEGO is a toy and
lower your standard. Motors are weak so in order to have more speed while
keeping power more motors are needed, thus more space. If that can't be solved
you might have to accept lower speed or less power.
Also, you could make the RCX & compressor as a load to put on the tipper. Even
Jennifer has to fit her controls outside the vehicle sometimes :)

My definition of growing up was to mature and start reworking bit's and pieces.

I'm not proud 'cause I know I can do better, I'm just to lazy to do so :)

I'm glad you realized that, when I went sky-diving I succeeded :)

Perhaps you could tear the chassis and start over from there, putting the
motors in as structural elements?
