My thoughts:

ESC and motor: 2200KV MMM combo is spot on. Very powerful, efficient, reliable, and overall great value for money. CC is one of very few companies that has a 1 year warranty and they DO stand behind their products. Most of the ESCs I have smoked have been all my fault and they have replaced all but one (which was out of the warranty period) under warranty. It'll take a few weeks to get your replacement, but if you go with Castle you know they've got your back. If you decide to save a few $ and go with a HobbyWing you are on your own, I don't know what their service is like but they can't touch CC.

Battery: That 6500 may be a bit heavy, but they are good lipos and if it doesn't give you 20+ minutes something is wrong. 4s is perfect for racing with the 2200, 5s and 6s gives you more power than you can really use while racing.

Charger: I don't know anything about Imax chargers, I think I've heard of people using them with great success but I have never owned one or known anyone who has used one. I have had a Hyperion for the last 3+ years and it has been an excellent charger, so naturally I throw my support behind them.
