What is a good mid range servo to get, and his do I know if I should use a small one or a normal one? Is it a space thing or a weight thing?
Also ESCs?
I have looked at loads of them at 120A, why does it need to be about that rating, there are dozens around the £65 mark?
If I run a speed passion v3 8.5t, what would a good ESC be with a 4800 2S shorty (90c)?
Lots of questions I know, just not sure which way to go and looking for independent advice rather than calling a shop as they might just try to push me in a preferred direction that suits them.
Thanks again.

A servo from the likes of Xpert or Savox won't set you back a lot compared to other brands, low profile or full size is purely a matter of space saving. A conventional 2wd off road car will have more than enough space for a full size servo and they're generally your best bet, less likely to strip gears. Torque is more important than speed, but try and go for something with a response time of 0.1 seconds or less.
The "A" essentially indicates how much motor you can use with the ESC, each speed controller will usually have a turn limit stated somewhere but 120A is perfectly suitable for off road - you won't be going below a 5.5 even in a 4wd. This may come across as a little biased but the RC Concept SC120 is brilliantly priced compared to similar competition level speedos, and really well priced ESC/motor/programming box combo packages are available from LMR. Sky RC Toros are also popular ESC choices, similarly priced to the SC120 with a lot of good reviews.
