It should bolt right up with no problem , as for them running hot well thats all in how its geared .
The main problem you will have is keeping the F/R diffs from stripping out , the center diff can use the newer steel gears from the Mini SCT diff . When I went brushless with my MLST2 I had to shim the diffs pretty tight and carefully break them in to keep them from stripping .
That and set your slipper a little loose . I have 2 Mini E REVO's that I have had since they were released and both are still going strong , never overheated on me even when running 3s .
Here is a short vid of mine from like 3 years ago ....
