If that's what you want , then what ever chassis your using, from the front of the chassis were the front kick plate attach's to were the rear T-plate attach's, your measurement should be
8 5/8'' long, which is the first red line, mine is 8 3/4'' as you can see in this picture.

Before
After
I cut a old MF1 as far back as I could. Then I cut a old BK2 chassis as far forward as I could, sorry I thought I took pictures of every step of the process, but I guess I didn't, but in this picture you can see the cut lines.
I then dremeled out the Losi battery braces to make the Losi chassis flat. Then I cut the center section out of a T4 chassis that I had, and used it to bridge the two Losi half's together, as you can see a little better in this picture.
I then made some little braces to help bridge and support the two chassis at the rear, (As per the suggestion of James ''the Bussdriver'' Gallatin, thanks) as you can see in the next couple of pictures.
At the front, I needed some upright post so I could use the SC10 folding battery brace which I really like, so cut about and 1'' of battery brace and post off of another old chassis, to make the front brace and post as you can see in the next couple of pictures.
I then drilled and screwed small screws and epoxied everything together, as you can see in this picture.
I then drilled, screwed, and Epoxied all three chassis together, as you can see in the next couple of pictures.
If anyone has any questions, or wants to see how I did any of the other Mods. let me know.
L8er, Chromie.

Great looking SC truck, I have done the same thing to the TRAXXAS Rustler chasis, milled delrin block made it the length of a slash. Low cg and very bashable like the slash I call it the RUSH!

Alright 
On the front, all I did was cut the front axles down,both on the bearing side, and on the threaded side. I also had to thread a few extra threads , to get the nuts to tighten up all the way, as you can see here in this picture.
The measurement from the bearing race to the back of the Axel is 13.45mm as you can see in this picture, even tough the caliper is showing 13.48mm , it moved a little while I was taking the picture.
I think I maybe 1 mm wide at each end to be legal, I think they should be 12.45mm , to make the front width 296mm. I'm going to cut some new ones when I get some money.
On the rear, I found some shorter axles, that I think are off of a older Losi buggy, you can see how much shorter they are, in this next picture.
I cut the outer threads just so they would not stick out past the nuts so much. I think the rear width is perfect at 296mm.

Some LHS's/Tracks and a lot of people think the Slash has a handicap or something and that the SC10 is a faaarrr superior platform. I own both and I race my Slash because I am waaayy faster with it. So yeh, combine the SCT's and have it be one class. I agree with keeping a Stock Spec Slash Class though for newcomers. So you have Stock Spec and Pro2. Done.
Back on topic.....
Anyhoo, that is one sick Losi SCT!!!!! When is it being released?

I have a mod Slash and I destroy the SC10s with it.
My best lap with it so far is a 14.9 on a small indoor track where the best mod 2wd buggy lap is low 13s last I looked.
I have an SC10 coming soon and I can't wait to get it going but I will be racing that in stock Slash spec and keep the Slash for mod SC. It's a great feeling to hear the announcer sound suprised that a Slash is winning every time.
ANYWAY,
That is a bad ass looking ride and very custom. I love people's sense of style and originality. VERY good job.
