I say use the 2.5 motor until you get used to racing. Also install P2 rockers (traxxas brand is fine).
One last thing (most important) get good tires, like the Boa C compound. Stock foams are fine.
Get used to that for awhile then come back and we'll do the single servo for steering and other mods.
Basically you could do everything possible as far as setup goes and you still won't be fast until you get track experience. Learn when to use throttle and when to use brakes. Also work on taking the fastest racing line and carving the corners.
No hop-ups will make you learn this any faster, practice on the track is the only thing that will help.
