A <3000kV would work with 4S, I hope the motors I'm having in mind will fit :D

How big are the battery compartments on these things? Anyone have any idea on what size pack can fit? Just curious if I already have something that would fit or I would need to by something specifically for this.

Keep in mind that if you do already have some packs that would fit it, that they either need to have the trx hc connector or youd have to modify one or the other plugs. As far as battery packs go though I think anything close to a 6s NiMH pack would work since thats what the traxxas pack looks like. Still think it'd be cool to get one and toss in a CCMS9000 if it would fit, may have to get one of these and try it out.

You kind of got your theories wrong. The 9000kv motor is by no means a really fast motor. One reason is because it's a castle motors and they don't quite compare to a medusa motor. Another reason will be that it won't be efficient because of the maissive Rpms and it will run very hot. The 9000kv motor would be good for 4 cell nimh 10th scale touring cars if it would fit, but there are much better choices for anything else. The motor will not fit at least stock because the 16th scale revo will take 28mm 370-400 canned motors and the 9000 is a 540/36mm motor. So instead of buying a 9000kv motor, get a medusa. They have about the right kv.
