Default Getting a RB6 - sanity check on required items

Hi all,
I'm about to buy this kit. Almost exclusively race on a large indoor clay track. New to 2wD buggy class, been racing 4x4SC (Tekin RX8.2, HW Xerun motor, AKA Typo Tires). I'm planning to run the 2wd mod buggy class, and would like your feedback on my proposed electronics and tires. So here's what I'm looking at so far:

Tekin RSX gen 2 (already use Tekin in my SC, and have all the hotwire/programming accessories already)
Tekin 6.5 Turn motor (should I be looking at a 7.5 instead per the RB6 manual?)
Savox 1257TG
Aka EVO Typos (I assume the downloadable manual incorrectly lists Short Course as the suggested tires to buy, and that I want 1/10 buggy tires).

Planning to run the RM config. What's the best choice for 2S battery (straight, shorty, saddle)? Mains at my track are either 5 or 7 minutes.

What size pinions should I get as a starting point assuming mod racing with a 6.5 (or 7.5 if you think I should be getting that one instea)?

Thanks for all the help.
