for a new racer with a lower budget bowties are a good tire (they are versatile, indoor or outdoor), and stick to the stock 14mm size (stock), anything bigger is just bling IMO...If you keep your wheel nuts tight then the stock axles and 14mm hex will work fine, it did for me and Tune for 2 solid years of running. Not one single problem.
I also use the stock steering knuckles (hubs) for almost 2 years without problems...I spent some money on RD Racing's aluminum ones and wished I hadn't....waste of money IMO. Never popped one pillow ball out or broke any of the stock knuckles in almost 2 years!
A solid single servo for a budget racer is the JR m650z...it's plenty to turn a revo and it's $50 new.....
You'll notice, everyone has their own opinion on hop-ups , what needs to be done, what should be done first, and what product/models to use......you'll get this with any question like "what is the best hop-ups for this truck" type questions.
