To make a blx from a mega is way more expensive imo....plus all the things you would wanna upgrade from the blx... Plus u don't need a full metal jacket to have fun btw
I would suggest a hobbywing 120a brushless sensorless waterproof esc and a brushless 4 pole 540 (3650)size around 3400kv~3900kv for about 100 bucks together and a 3s lipo 25c above 3500mah that fits into your compartment about 35-50bucks depending on quality
Once u do that your dogbones will want to pop out...figure out the solution...by that time you'll almost have a bullet proof truck
After all that it'll b a bit heavy and jumping will probably blow your shocks a bunch...traxxas metal ultra shocks for 2we slash will fix it
But first I would start with an extra thick tmaxx body made by parma Inc. May not look the best but they are tough and a t bone racing bumper
[DOUBLEPOST=1463556458][/DOUBLEPOST]Since you're new To this build and I been working on this build for awhile...you can spend whatever you want but a smile is still the same
Seriously tho a thick body from parma for tmaxx and t bone racing bumper are must haves
The slash 2wd metal shocks and hobbywing wp120a esc are amazing
Personally think a metal gearbox and metal toe/camber links are overrated
Fyi... a 2 pole brushless will cause you to re lube your trans and diff with new grease and stronger diff fluid
a 4 pole brushless will cause you to re lube your trans n diff with the same stuff but also fix your diff outdrives so they can take a little more torque
[DOUBLEPOST=1463556935][/DOUBLEPOST]......And to answer your question...kinda
Wheels dogbones bearings servo.....most of these things are interchangeable however I believe you are referring to the transmission parts specifically and the answer is no
You will need all new gears new diff cover all new gearbox and motor mount too
Unless you are trying to go with more volage than 12v the stock gearbox should be fine

If you are just wanting more runtime and speed get a 60a brushless esc and something around 3600kv 2pole brushless (important it's 2 pole)
I used a 3900kv 2pole brushless like the bls model for awhile with very few complications(just ran a little hot on 3s) on 2s (7.4v)and 3s (11.1v)and was very pleased satisfied with the amount of work and still had money in my wallet.....
for some dumb reason thought I wanted more....so I put a 4 pole 3800kv in it and started throwing dogbones.... Had to change everything....new bones(now cva) new bearing carriers new outdrives new hexes esc a
bec and what did all this work get me one may ask.....
About 1mph r so slower than when I used a 3900kv 2pole brushless (like the bls setup) but I gained a ton of torque...
what u want do is up to u....some guys went crazy an slapped 2 cars together to make them smile... I wanted to take the stock design to the fullest without putting too many parts from other cars on it to make me happy... Maybe you would like to just do a motor esc swap for a 2pole brushless like the bls and not have to worry about much plus get runtime and speed improvement...r maybe you will buy the first set of those new motors that are the rc car wheels and have a whole new set of issues.....whatever makes u happy
Hope this helps
