Awesome you'll be able to fit it 0verkill! I really like the ET48, but always assumed it was just too small for brute power set-ups, very cool you prove me wrong . This is gonna be fun!

FWIW, I run 20k/2000k/10k (F/C/R). Depending on how you use it, I'd expect the 300k CD is too light and will be running hot. Been thinking of upping my front and rear a bit (esp. the 10k rear, which is getting a bit leaky, which I suspect is because of the oil getting too hot) to something like 40k/20k (still "off-road-ish"), or 500k/40k (more "on-roadish"), but so far have been too lazy (I mean busy, obviously ) to get the diffs out.

Did you get the motor from the TP website? If so, then you can confirm whether the weight in their specs (think it's listed as 490 g or something, opposed to the ~586 g I got) is a typo or whether they changed something to the motor?

If you want to use another radio, after your done unlocking it with the Traxxasapp radio Castle Link Live must be disabled. All the ones I've seen in chop shops have not been unlocked at all.
Or you just flash it with genuine Castle firmware, thanks to Lizard / Rodizio.

Edit:
Here, I'll throw in this pic about diff fluids from Bill de Long out of the Hudy set-up guide, maybe it's useful:
