You'll need that kit and a battery tray for it, Mike sells them in popular sizes as well as custom if you have a lipo that's an odd size.

For ESC/motor I think your best bet would be the 2200KV MMM combo, I think Mike sells these for around $280. I don't know how many teeth of a pinion you'd want, I'm guessing 14T but I don't know.

You will be able to use motor braking with that kit without a problem, mechanical brakes are an option which would require some extra work.

Any ESC/Motor will go in with minimal effort. You just need to screw in the motor, add the pinion gear (make sure you use a little blue loctite on the set screw or it'll come loose in about 30 seconds), find a place to mount your ESC, and hook it all up. I like to zip tie my ESCs on top of the center diff, it's a handy place to put it, leaves room on the chassis for batteries and other goodies, and it keeps the ESC fairly close to the motor.

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
