You could take the trays off and bolt in some lipo cradles instead. That would be super sweet!

Yes they did but they are designed for sub c cells. Nicad or NiMH.
Brushless is lower maintenance and the way to go in my opinion. However there are lots of used brushed motors floating around on feebay for cheap that would give you more power. A 9.5-13.5 brushless or 12-15 turn brushed modified would give you all the power you need and more.

and are 4 mm longer so the camber gets screwed up .

Well its like this the cat xls has an 2 inner hing hole but you use only one the outer one so if you remove the outer mount and use the inner mount they should fit and be as same with before.if you turn the car around remove the bumper you will se what i mean...
Shall take an pic of mine but i havent got the car here
