Default which would be cheaper?

I like the bigger tires of the stampede 4x4....
but I want the wheel base of the slash 4x4.

New tires for the slash would run $50.
A new chassis and center shaft to make the pede have the slash's wheel base would run $25.
But then I would need a longer body as well (probly a maxx or savy body) which would be $45 or so.

But, with the pede I could sell the stock chassis/shaft and body. So I could recoup around $30.

But are there any other parts I woudl need besides the center chassis and center shaft to make the pede longer?

Also. slapping larger tires on the slash could mean either hacking up the body or buying a new one as well.

Which would you guys do if you wanted a 4wd MT with the wheelbase of the slash? Buy a slash and get new tires plus maybe a new body? Or buy the stampede...center chassis/shaft and a new body?
Also. the stampede will cost me $20 less than the slash.
