The best part is that it's a metal gear servo, so I remove the sloppy servo saver and mount directly off the included servo horn so I don't have any centering issues after bumping corners or other cars on the track, even better is that it's a digital servo which allows better precision if you are using expo on your steering, oh and it's significantly faster than the stocker

Ok, thx, I think I will go with Hitec HS-65MG, a brushless combo its on the way.
This week, the new 1:18 track will be ready and next week the first contest.
What parts to order to have with me in case something goes bad ? What are the weaknesses in these cars ?

The only part I broke (twice) was the steering rack. Get an steering rack assembly, Associated p/n 21322. Should be about $4 to $5 USD. The only other failure I've seen on other cars were drive belts, but that particular racer was running a 4-pole brushless on a 3S lipo. Never hurts to have an extra on hand. Good luck!

No, 1800mAh is the largest 2S pack that I've been able to fit, you might be able to get a 2200mAh pack to fit with some mods to the battery holder. Most packs are around $10-$15 across the net.

LOL, as Bill has shown, a standard ESC (ie. one used in a 1/10 car) will fit, but a LiPo intended to fit a larger scale car will not.

You cannot adjust the rear belt tension, but shimming the rear differential can help to ensure it is aligned best. Run the front belt as loose as possible without it slipping. Unless you have way too much power, you can run the tensioner at the lowest setting.
