I was inspired to do something like this by a friend who has an outrunner warhead (Takedown). He helped me out a lot with picking out the right motors. If I did this I would be using it as a direct drive setup. So I would not have to use the center tranny. Using outrunners can have many advantages. Such as loads of torque while still having amazing top end speed, efficiency, and less heat.
Here they are!

I would also like to know more information on outrunners in general. Like should I be basing my decision mainly on length or width?
I have not seen this done to a e-savage yet and would love to do something new. So please let me know what you think.
