Turning a German RepRap x400 into a Voron

So my work has this German RepRap x400 that is broken and they have been troubleshooting it for months and cannot fix it. I mentioned that I could convert it to a Voron.
I have not built a Trident but I have done a 2.4.
I think what I am going to do is rip out all the electronics and put in an Octopuss and Raspberry PI.
I might need to figure out the motors an the rotation of the motion system but I don't think this is going to be very difficult.
They do not use 2 extruder's so I will pull one out as well. Not sure if I can put a Steathburner on it yet.

Can anyone see any unforeseen issues I may run into?
Here is the printer. https://www.innovatiq.com/en/products/3d-printers/x400/
 
Depending on what parts you are keeping vs replacing it looks like it might work

I pan on keeping the motion system and replace all the electronics. Pretty sure it won’t be to difficult I’ll post the reults
