I really don't think it's a big deal guys. There are a few stumbling blocks, but nothing that can't easily be overcome. The CD is actually longer than a standard 8th scale diff, so there's plenty of room for an adaptor plate in which to bolt the Revo spur. The stock CD placement is perfect for motor/battery balance, there's plenty of room to use whatever motor/battery you want, and when the battery/motor is installed there will be a lot less wasted space so it will look nice when finished.

Sometimes it's nice to have something that will be a little unique. Yeah, it requires actual thought and planning to get it right. There are a lot of electric vehicles out now where one can slap whatever they want and be done.

IMO, the Slash is a really simple vehicle, and certainly not worth the ~4 bills it goes for. The 2WD Slash is ~$200 and the 4x4 version is not a whole lot more vehicle for double the price. Yeah, it does have a BL system in it, but most of us would ditch it anyway. I would have much preferred the PE came with no motor/ESC (or a brushed setup just to keep the RTR factor) and cost ~$300.
