Motor/ESC depends on budget. On the cheaper end, an XL motor and Mamba Max ESC work well. On the upper end, an MGM or Quark ESC with a Neu motor are hard to beat. The specific motor wind depends on the voltage you plan to run. The higher the better because you want less current (and the losses associated with high current) up to the limit of the ESC (MM=4s, Quark=5s, MGM=6s+).

Battery trays can be made of Almunim, plastic, etc. It really depends on the battery type/size you plan to use.

Whatever servo you get, make sure it has at least metal gears, is fast (~.01sec) and if going with a single servo setup, at least 160 oz-in of torque.

Tranny setups include using emaxx tranny (with better slipper and metal idler gear), stock Revo tranny (check out one of the stickies in the Revo forum), slipperential (basically a center diff/motor mount combo setup), or whatever you want to create.
