Default thinking of getting a ECX

I want a cheap SCT truck.

The torment looks pretty tough, and seems to get pretty good reviews.

The stock motor is fairly slow tho.....

And i would prefer a waterproof truck.

So, im thinking this: I have a XL-5 ESC, and a flysky Rx. So i buy the torment @ $160, then sell the Tx and Rx for $50 and the ESC/motor for $35. Then buy a 12t 550 motor. That works out to $105 or $110 for a mostly new truck that will have a waterproof ESC and a 12t 550 motor.

Also, i dont care for the titan 12t 550...i have had too many of them burn up quickly. but i want a comparable motor. Losi has a 12t 550 right? Is it decent?

Thoughts on my plan? Is the stock TX and RX worth $50 if i sell it on ebay?
