Unless I read the original post incorrectly, it appears he wants to run CIMple boxes, in which case he won't be spending this much money on the drive train, even if you buy spares for everything and buy an new set of wheels, say the 6" or 4" plaction.
As for battery costs, I'm going with a 6 battery total on my new team, so with 4 additional batteries it will costs $166 from AM, without shipping costs. However, you will also need additional battery chargers. I don't remember if the KOP includes chargers or not, so you may need to get 2 chargers in addition to the 4 you would get for your new batteries, and even if it came in previous kits, never count on something being in the kit.
