Default Converting a Hobicco Superstar to electric...

Looking to convert my Hobicco Superstar nitro 40 size trainer to electric. I am new to brushless and lipos and am wondering if either of these would suffice?

I also have 4 2s 5200 30c lipos coming in the mail for my ERevo. Would these work? If not, what lipos would you recommend to power something this size?
Thanks

Doing some more shopping while patiently waiting for a reply
Here is the new route:
ESC w/UBEC:

Brushless motor:

or
http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store...eq:_4030AXi%29
This seems more powerful and would be ok for this application.
Maybe these for batteries:

Any thoughts?
