Im just gona add that those Orion servos are not up to the task AT ALL!! I got one that stripped 2 sets of gears within a gallon and another that just burned out completely. Not to mention the Team Orion customer service (or lack there of) wanted nothing to do with helping out with what where pretty much brand new servos. Go with a well know servos like JR, Futaba, Ace, or Hitec. I may have missed something but the OP who stated racing on a budget is buying everything right the first time around is right.
