S3305 is not really the ideal servo for an electric car - it is more for nitro trucks - it lacks speed for electric, and the extra torque is unneeded - don't get me wrong, it will work - really you are just as well off with a basic S3003.
The Novak XBR should be good quality - Novak have been in the game a long time and they were the first to market with a proper race system - but the XBR has an 8.5 turn limit - that is not super quick, when you consider that club racers will be using a 6.5/5.5 - depends what your expectations are.
And seriously consider LiPo if you are just bashing around - NiMH is on its way out, I think in coming years we will see LiPo as the main power source in a lot of electric cars - and even if you do buy NiMH (which do fit the car better and give the right weight distribution), make sure your charger has a usable LiPo charging mode as well - the one you mentioned does not.
Sorry if I seem a bit dismissive - really it depends on what you want from the car, the parts you have listed will give a "bling" Durga with a couple of good reliabilty upgrades - it is a decent setup but it won't be super quick and the electrics side of things may be outdated pretty soon.
Shopping lists are a very difficult thing to comment on, everyone likes different things! Feel free to ignore me completely.
