Very nice job, but using a Slash as the drivetrain?? I mean, the Slash/Pede/Rusty has got to be one of the crappiest (and oldest) designs out there. The diffs alone are weak and poorly designed (the bearings do not support the diff, just the outdrive). Personally, I would have went with a truggy rear-end, shorten the rear center axle (so the spur is closer to the rear diff), and use something like an RCM motor mount setup. Motor on one side, ESC on the other, and a whole lotta room for batteries...
