A 7.5 will be plenty, especially for indoors. On a big outdoor track you may want a 6.5, if you have some good skills in your thumbs.

100% agree.
I just got started racing this time last year and went straight in at with a 6.5 in my Cat SX2. In hindsight this was too much for me. I upped it to a 5.5 (?!?) which was bonkers as Stu rightly says. TOo much for me.
A 7.5 if you will mostly be racing bigger tracks, or even a good 10.5 I would recommend. With todays timing advances ESC you can always push a 10.5 that bit extra to get top end if you need it.
Car = SX3 for me. Build it right, its going to be a great car; loads of other drivers on here for advice/setups and best of all, the Schumacher team and staff are second to none for service, parts and help.
BUt has already been said, Im sure that most of the top 1/10th cars now are all much of a muchness in terms of performance and reliability when built and driven well.
Good luck
