for the motor esc combo i would recommend traxxas vxl 3s velineon combo.
this esc and motor will work the battery you listed and also is the default in rustler vxl models.
any other assistance with electronics please specify or pm me.

regarding the wheelie bar you can get one from ebay or tower hobbies.
and as a newbie i would recommend you to stick to the stock plastic chassis.

and be read to shell out in excess of 7000 for a brand new combo with shipping and customs to india.
also you can enquire with traxxas india via their website..

as brand new retails on ebay for $150 + $20 shipping = $170 which by 53 is 9010RS.
customs your gamble.
