Default ECSs, Servos, Motors, Batteries

Sorry, the search function just gave too much results that weren't what I needed.

BASICALLY, I'm looking at upgrades, and parts for a new Element Gate keeper, but the model doesn't really matter (or does it?).

From what I gather, most kits skimp out on one or more of the following
ESC
Steering Servo
Motor

And at the same time, most require you to add your own batteries.

It also seems that most beginner kits will take 2s or 3s batteries. What are the benefits of each? Is there a down side other than price to the 3s?
How do you pick how much servo you might need? Lets just say, I'd like to try 2.2 wheels and 5.5 tires, is 25k enough?
How does battery selection affect this?
Same for motors, How do you pick how many slots and turns for a motor (mostly brushless for the time being)?
Does a 2200kv motor put out more power with a 3s than a 2500kv with a 2s?

If I missed a thread that ties this all together, please link it here

At the moment, I'm thinking I want a HobbyWing 1080, if for no other reason than it's highly rated, and gives many more options to tweak than stock, but not sure what motor, or servo, or even batteries I want, and how they affect the other choices. Are some receivers NOT compatible with a 3s battery pack?

Yes, I am going too fast and getting in too deep, that's just me.

Thanks in advance!
