Default RC Car help needed

Looking to pick up an RC car (gas) in 1/10 scale, most likely.

I'm leaning towards HPI kit, but would love any relevant feedback from more experienced builders.

Engine suggestions?
Servos?
Car brands?

Any help is appreciated.

If you're into "racing" or competing with the car, I'd say go with HPI and get their S2000 bodykit! I did!

Right now, I've got a .26 size 4-stroke engine in the car, carbon fiber everything (or performance related, NOTHING stock), Kyosho extra wide tires on all 4 and the oh soo nice S2000 body

Oh btw go with OS engines (most reliable and cost-effective)
Servos...go with the radio's servos (Usually Futaba or JR radios)
