Default Attempting the D5 again...

Hey all, been a while since I posted or did anything R/C related but have been itching to get started on a project from long ago. About 2 years ago I planned on building one of the Bruder D5s but got confused and gave up. I am going to use a 4 channel transmitter, but I am confused on what I should use for electronics. Doing research I have found that for outdoor rugid use I should use either the Tamiya 4 speed or these.... http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1576 with matching hubs. With both options i would want to use Sabertooth 2X5 esc? Seems like this is the best option. For a battery pack, http://www.robotmarketplace.com/prod...FLB12502S.html ? Funds are limited and cant afford any mistakes while ordering. Does this look like this would work? Here is what I did before, and as you can see, I really want to use the interior.













Thanks for the help, I have more pics but most is just detail. I had the Tamiya Dual motor gear box but heard it is not durable enough.
