I can't believe I missed this thread.

Nice custom work for the direct drive. You should save some weight without a tranny. You'll want to make sure that the bottom skid plate you use mounts to the bottom 4mm holes in the rear bulks. These brace the rear bulheads and without it, the only thing attaching the bulk from the bottom is the 3mm shock mount scews. I found out the hard way that just using the shock mount scews tends to be a bit much under hard driving conditions.

I converted the RTR slayer a couple weeks ago and found I could not keep the truck from rolling like a tumble weed. Even with the Revo sway bars and camber adjustments, it was still out of control.
I have since mounted the front and rear ends to the E-Revo chassis and am just waiting for the E-Revo transmission to show up.
The stock body fits decent enough. Just trim the wheel wells a bit and ream two new holes for the rear.
I will hopefully have my new E-Slayer ready for the track this comming weekend. The lower center of gravity and longer wheel base should tame this rolling beast
