Question on what to build to beat the shizz out Slayer, Revos, and slashes!!

[Desert Rc]

Okay I go crawling with a bunch of guys almost every weekend. Now I sold most of my go-fast stuff to get into crawling. But now I want to build something to compete and run when they all bash there revos, slashes, and slayer.

Most of the time they run on dirt roads, rough un-cut natural terrain and so on. No tracks here. So I am figuring that I am def going to need

1. something durable durable durable
2. something that has some clearance
3. can find parts cheap on ebay (im a bay whore for sure)
4. something I can make blistering fast and torque crazy (45 MPH at least would be fun)

Now what I have
I have a unfinished losi pro 8ight I was thinking of throwing (dont have yet )a MMM combo in with like 5s-6s lipo and putting a corr body on like I have seen on this site. But I kinda worry about clearance.

I just want to shoot the shit with you guys and see what you kinda suggest for tearing some stuff up with the other guys...hoping to really show them up at the same time with some crazy torque 4wd power.

Most everyone has slayers (like 6 of them) and now two members just got new revo 3.3s...I hate nitro...would really like to prove Brushless power to these two.lol.

Anyway I know you guys have way more knowledge then I do and I have no problem switching platforms or even just getting a 8ight T so it can handle more terrain. I dunno you tell me what you think.

Thanks
Paul
