That motor is a bit small for the Rage IMO. It's barely bigger (+5mm longer) than a Mamba motor and those are notoriously bad for use in a vehicle that size. Even though it's cheap, you're probably going to have heat issues with it in that vehicle, especially on 3S. I'd suggest a different motor if you want it to actually live up to the "Overkill" terminology you're using for the truck.

Some motors that come to mind...
Neu 1105/2Y
Neu 1107/1.5Y
Permax Multiplex BL480/3D
Medusa 28-40-3400

Also, a MM is not needed for a truck that size...a Sidewinder is much more affordable and will work very well on whatever motor you choose. You also aren't going to find any 3S 2000mAh battery packs that will fit in the battery tray of the Rage. About the biggest you can probably sneak in there is a 3S 1600mAh Flightpower EVOLITE V2 pack.
