2 most common diff fluid setups in the 8ight is 7/10/3 or 5/10/2.
The Losi BL Kit is a good kit for the price. Should look at getting a Kyosho Nylon Gear as the Losi metal one would be pretty loud. You will have to run the 44T Kyosho Spur (

Any reason why you want to run a 1515? Most usually run a 1512 in a buggy. Tekno/Impakt have the new 1512 Sealed Cans coming out very soon (maybe 1 - 3 weeks)
Not sure on the height difference between the Losi and MMM esc but the ESC mount is behind the battery tray on the Losi kit. I think the MMM would probably hit the body so you may need the 8-E body LOSA8097. Someone who has the Losi kit and MMM esc maybe able to confirm this though.
