Well said man, thats what helped me get going.
This past summer, here is what I ran in my gas car, and the current prices from where i got them:
Throttle servo:
Tower hobbies TS-160 digital

Width: 0.8" (20mm)
Height: 1.5" (38mm)
Weight: 2.1oz (60g)
Connector: Universal
Got from: guess where =), $92.58
Steering servo:
Hitec HS-5965MG High speed digital coreless
