Castle Creations 1/8 MambaMonster 2 + 2650kV. Or even the Castle Creations Sidewinder 8th + 2200kV. It is waterproof which I like for bashing where ever I want. It is built for larger vehicles so it should handle a heavier truck with larger wheels correct?
You don't need a 1/8th motor. Just a beefier ESC than the SV3. There is a plethora of motors from Turnigy, GForce, Leopard, Tenshock, Hobbywing, Castle in 3660 size with 4 poles. They will all work fine. Out of the ones you listed, I would consider the new Sidewinder 1/8th scale. But it would more cost effective to pickup a combo from China, if you're not in a hurry, from RCEcho, RCMart, HobbyKing, etc. for <$120 shipped.
Here, I'll do some work for you.
