Bug Rally!
Production of the Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1) began in 1949 and thanks to its distinctive rounded form with no-frills interior, it became a familiar sight across the world. Powered by a rear-mounted flat 4 engine, the lightweight Beetle offered superlative reliability and uncomplicated upkeep, which helped make the car a fixture on the global rally circuit from the 1950s through to the 1980s. This R/C model assembly kit is inspired by such rallying Beetles. Its lightweight polycarbonate body artfully captures the Beetle form, with metal-plated parts recreating bumpers and side mirrors. Stickers and light pod parts give the model a rallying air.

Sorry for the typo, ESC is included in the kit
You can use Tamiya PS colours: https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/106/
No, the choice of servo won't affect the receiver binding.
That will work well in that kit.
You can certainly look at upgrading the motor. The Tamiya Sport Tuned 53068 motor is popular.
After that, you can upgrade the motor and ESC together for more speed or look at a brushlesss setup such as say 2120002
