You have made a
blisteringly good set of choices. Everything you have listed here is top shelf, will work exceedingly well, and will last you a long while.

The Servo is the ONE piece of the car that you DONT want to skimp on. You want a servo with a lot of torque. I personally run a Futaba 9551 lopro on my Xray009, and its perfect in all regards. Small, fast, strong, and pretty affordable.

Sorex are fantastic (buy premounts). 28s for cold weather, 32s for cool/warm weather, 36s for warm/hot weather. At my outdoor asphault track, we normally switch to 36s when the track temp hits ~105 degrees F, give or take.
Also, make sure you buy a decent little temp gun, so you can temp your motor as you begin working on gearing and timing. You dont want to blow up your new 17.5.

In my opinion, the best lipo on the market is the IP 5600mah 50c battery. I just got one a few weeks ago, and it is flawless. You can buy it with bullet plugs, or a deans plug right from the factory.
