Cool Xray XT8E Build Idea - Suggestions Wanted

Gonna be building an Xray XT8E hopefully very soon. Attempting to build a bullet proof truggy platform that will take bashing beatings and then simply change ride height and tires and head to the track. I would like opinions on my electronics selections:

Tekin RX8 Gen 3 ESC (will semi-waterproof by coating case cracks and openings with plasti-dip. Removable for warranty service), will run included fan.

Tekin T8 Gen 2 Truggy Motor - Cant decide on 2000 or 1700Kv (will be running 4S LiPo)

ProTek RC 170SBL Servo (450 oz-in @ 0.09/60 degree on 6V!)

Spektrum DXR5 TX with included receiver

SMC 4S 7400mAh/149Amp/90C LiPos

10 AWG Battery-To-ESC-To-Motor Wiring

RCProPlus Supra X S6 Battery Connectors

RCProPlus Supra X S6 Motor Connectors

ProLine Buck Shot VTR 4.0" Tires for track

ProLine Badlands 3.8" Tires with lower gearing for bash

Just a few aluminum upgrades if I can find them - things like diff cases and carrier hubs

I already have electronics but they are being sold over on RC Sparks because they are old and I want to upgrade: https://www.rcsparks.com/forum/threa...s-setup.43383/

I cant post a for sale thread here even though Ive been a member for two years just because I dont have enough posts, which is ridiculous if you ask me.
