Ah, yes...
It is possible to use the new style slipper, but it requires some clever modification of the input ( top ) shaft:

Now, that^ is intended for the singlespeed emaxxtransmission, but I think if you used the input shaft from a newer style t-maxx ( which is longer and will fit the older style transmission hopefully ) you
should be able to do the same modification basically.
As for the sizes of mod1 vs mod 0.8 gears, try this:

Just play with the sizes & tooth counts until you can find the equivelants in each size.
Also, try using this gearing calculator too:

You wont need to worry much about the sizes of the gears ( spur and pinion ), since you are just aiming for a desired speed with whatever ratio is required.
Without knowing your full setup its impossible to guess the best/ possible options your have, but as an example:

Thats 24/66 gearing for 35mph with mod 0.8 gears. To get the same speed with mod 1 gears:

you would need 68/25- its not a big difference really, when using a transmission.
If you went with just a center differential unit ( with the slipperentialo maybe ), then the ratios would be very different as there arent as many gears to reduce the gear ratio obviously, but you would still just select mod 1 spurs and pinions that give you the desired speed- actual size doesnt matter so much, so long as they can actually fit / mesh together properly. If we copy the example above, then with a center differential unit you would need 46-48/10 or something in that region to get the same ~35mph speed.
