FYI - I have a Tamiya Rising Storm. The stock drivetrain will hold up well to an SS5800. The diffs are metal-geared. The only initial concern would be the main drive shaft, which is plastic. Definitely look at getting a replacement drive shaft if you go that route.
I ran my Rising Storm with my Lehner Basic XL4200 and MGM 8012 on 6 cells for a couple weeks and had zero problems.
I've actually been thinking about buying a used SS5800 system just for the Rising Storm.

Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.
