Hi,
Here are a few thoughts from me:
1) Have you thought about a SV2 as the 22 is poor in the wet - I'd choose a SV2 over a 22 any day of the week. If You want to spend more a Kyosho based Vega or DB
2) Sanwa every day of the week would be my thought - M11X - expensive, but the one item that should outlast everything else
3) I'd go for an 8.5 in a 2WD, look at Orion, HPI, Tekin in my view. Good for most tracks, indoors, EPR, and any of the bigger flowing tracks.

4) I'd go for either a Speed Passion LPF or an Orion R10, both perfectly fine for 2WD and 8.5 etc. You could turbo the motor if you needed to due to racing at a bigger track.

5) Charger, check out Core RC chargers, good value and do the job -

6) Batteries I'd say Orion saddle 5500 90C, however I have heard good things re the new HPI LIPOs

7) Servo, I'd look at Savox, Spektrum or Orion
