Car excellent (don't have one but seem well liked where I race), servo excellent (I have two), ESC excellent (I really like Hobbywing).
A 6.5 is great if you know what you are doing (sounds like you do from the 1/8th side) but if you are learning I would use an 10.5 or 8.5 depending on experience. I use LRP X12 8.5 which is great with my Hobbywing xtreme stock in my B44.1
I race astro outside and use Ballistic Buggy mini spike Pinks in the cold and wet and move to Ballistic Buggy greens in the dry. My son uses Schumacher mini spike Silvers in the wet (more grip than BB Pink but wear out quicker) and Schuy yellows as it dries.
