What I have done is:
1. created a chassis to change the 1/10 Slash to 1/8 size
2. the chassis is LCG, which greatlyimproves handling
3. the chassis accomodates the MMM and Velineon ESC's
4. can hold 2 batteries and positions can be adjusted for different sizes
5. gives someone the ability to convert their Slash to 1/8 rather than drop $500-600 on a new vehicle
And, most important, it's BIG and it's fun! Overpowered? I don't think so. I've had a blast with it so far and it handles nicely. Oh and it is fast. What's not to like?
It was just my opinion, I would get some 8th scale buggy tires and throw on there to get the wheels the right size.
I like getting all opinions, so no worries there. I'm glad you mentioned tire/wheel size. I modeled the wheelbase after the SC8.2e and mine is almost dead on (SC8.2e=14.76", 1/8 Slash=14.75"). At first, I started looking for taller wheels/tires to match the size of the truck. Then I found out that the SC8.2e runs the same size wheels/tires from the SC10. So, I completed everything and with the 1/10 size tires, I think it actually looks more scale. I have a FT SC10 and comparing the two trucks, the tire size looks much better on the 1/8 Slash.
