Its hard to say. It would look nice with a full matching ESC and motor and battery on your car, but I dont know enough about off-roading to know what kind of performance you need from motor. A general rule of thumb ESP for a beginner is walk around your pits and see what the majority of racers use. That way if you are asking for help or advice on how to setup, tune, or troubleshoot issues theres a better chance that someone understand and help.
