NEED INPUT on Losi XXXT Matt Francis Re-Build
 

I am a rookie here at the R/C stuff so sorry in advance for all the questions. I used to be into R/C cars when I was younger and I have a Losi XXXT MF edition that I let sit at a friends house for about a decade. I just picked it up and want to do a rebuild but so much has changed over the years that I am unfamiliar with the new technology. If anyone could give their input on some of the questions that I have that would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for a real solid brushless system that I won't get bored of after the first couple weeks, but at the same time isn't too overkill. I understand that the higher the kv rating the more top speed/less acceleration and the higher turn less top speed/more acceleration, so I was curious as to what a good balance would be? I have a Futaba 2PL controller and am most likely going to need a new receiver. I remember the servo's that I used before always use to break too, so if anyone could weigh in on a good receiver and digital servo with metal gears that would be sweet. I'll obviously be in the market for a LiPo battery and charger as well.

Any recommendations on these parts and anything else my car might need after sitting for a decade would awesome! I really want to get this thing rippin' again
