Default Putting 1/10 scale Traxxas vxl system, into a 1/16 slash?

Hi, i currently have a Traxxas vxl system sitting around after the tragic death of my rustler vxl []
So anyways, i was thinking about getting a 1/16 slash 4x4 vxl for a change of pace...but in order to save money and reuse my spare vxl system, i was wondering if i could put the 1/10 scale sized motor and esc in a cheaper brushed version of the slash?

Thanks for the help guys!

You will need the tenbol conversion kit to fit the 540 sized motor.

Alright thank for the help man!

also, what about batteries? i have a 5000mah 3s lipo, would that be too large to fit in the slash 1/16?

You might have to get creative to do it, but not without modifications.

a mini lipo set will work fine if you got a 2s in one compartment and a 1s in the other you can get that thing really moving
