Default kickin around some ideas (rustler)

Hi everybody. Im not really new to the hobby (per se), but im new here and have been out of the hobby for about 15 years. Last week, I bought an OLD rustler and an rc10t3 for $125. Both run and drive but the electronics are really outdated so I wanna upgrade to newer stuff. Im gonna upgrade the rusty first because of the parts availabilty and I might have the rc10 sold. Id like to get back into racing eventually but I dont know if any tracks in my area (oklahoma city) still race electric stadium trucks or not. If not ill buy an sct but for now I just wanna do some bashin and enjoy bein back in the hobby. For the past couple days ive been lookin around on here and have gotten a pretty good idea of the parts I wanna go with and would like some confirmation of whether im headed in the right direction so far. I just bought a primal charger yesterday and I have an onyx 7cell 5000mah nimh and a venom 7 cell 3000mah nimh and ive got a turnigy 2s 20-30c 5000mah nimh and a charge bag on the way. Figured ill got to 3s after I upgrade to brushless. Ideally, id like to just have a nice basher that I can run on the street or in grass with the potential to run 60-65mph and stay fairly cool. With that said im thinkin about runnin 1 of these combos:

Or

Or

With this tx/rx

So I guess im just askin what motor/esc combo out of the 3 would be best for what I wanna do and still have room for more upgradeability in the future and despite the low cost, is the tx gonna be better than my other option which is the traxxas tx/rx?

Also im gonna pick up a set of j concepts tense wheels but im lookin for suggestions on some decent tires. Thanks in advance for all the help...
