The Losi 2.0 RTR is a great bit of kit with pretty much everything you will need to start racing in the box. Apart from starter gear (Fuel, filler bottle, glow starter etc), all you need to get going is a couple of 7.2v battery packs for the starter box and a charger for the hump pack/batteries etc.
Another positive that maybe you should consider is the fact that pretty much the whole car can be upgraded to the pro version (Ali shock caps, top plate etc) and the prices on spares/upgrades are very reasonable and not short in supply.
The engine that is supplied supplies an ample amount of power for a beginner and is very easy to tune (Can make use of the telemetry sensor that comes with the dx3s radio).
I believe the steering servo is metal geared as standard and the throttle/break servo is 'good enough' but it may be an aspect which you may consider to upgrade at a later date.
We have them in for £455 at the moment so a little cheaper than £529 so maybe worth having a look
Hope this helps, Brad
