If I get it, I'll have to start thinking about electronics. I could probably borrow my mamba max from the revo. Now I just need the biggest motor that will fit that runs good on 4s.

Turnigy 36-56-2600 5mm shaft - http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...600kv_Inrunner

KD 36-60-3000 5mm shaft - http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...hless_Inrunner

I want to use a 3.2mm shafted motor as I have lots of pinions that size I want to use. Is it too risky to grind the shaft down to 3.2mm?
Get a medusa, and you will not want to run heavy batts in a tc, really throws off the balance and causes handling issues. 1/8 shaft is a good idea, as 48p pinion are not too easy to come by in 5mm bore. Or go to a 32p spur, then the sky is the limit with 5mm bore pinions.
