A few things to help with the roll and weight... if you haven't yet, lower that freaking body. Chop down the body posts 1/8 under the "integrated washer", tap a small hole in the underside and screw back on...
Another thing, not sure if you are keeping the stock talons, but I got the 2.2 revolver wide offset wheels. It widens the truck quite a bit.
With the body low and and a wider stance (yet still keeping the suspension where it was), it handles like a champ. I only flipped mine once yesterday during a whole pack.

I removed the rx box, made a kydex plate and mounted the MM and ccbec on it. The rx is mounted next to the servo against the side of the chassis.
I have the stock talons and they are working nicely.

In your opinion, what would be the ideal motor setup for this? Do you really think it needs a 4s setup, to be efficient? I have a couple different routes for power that I'm thinking of, and it's always better to pick a brain such as your's, then pick a nose such as mine.

I am geared for 45, but the 12c lipo may be giving up some voltage. Looked like it was doing about 40mph.
Given my small amount of experience, something like the aveox I have seems ideal. So a 36mm diameter 4 pole 60mm long motor. This motor is 2000kv, and that is just about idea on 4s with a 18t pinion. I also think a higher kv motor on 3s would be good. The mmpro sc system with the 2400 kv motor may work on 3s, but I would run it on 4s and gear down for lower temps and more torque. A 3000mah 40c 4s lipo would be about ideal, or a 5000mah 40c 3s.
I would not go with a S can motor (50mm lomg) unless it was a high kv and geared very low on 3s. I think the longer motors are just better, run cooler and can have the torque dialed down in the esc setting which in turn makes the system less stressed and run even cooler.
I am temped to try the 1410 cc motor in this truck, but I think the 4wd would overload the sidewinder. With a MM or mmpro I think the motor would do ok on 3s, geared for around 40.
I really like the sidewinder sc system on 3s in my 2wd pede, just right on 3s and 14/58 gearing. So it will likely stay there. If I score a mmpro sc sytem it will go in the 4x4 pede. But the aveox/mm/ccbec is working just fine. Need to make up some higher discharge 4s lipos to really give it a run.
