Default EXI 450 V2 SE Clone

Hello all, I'm new to RC helicopters and new to this forum. I was recently inspired by mikeysrc videos on You Tube where he goes through one of these builds in great detail. I plan on picking up an EXI 450 V2 kit. Would somebody go through this list of parts I picked out and let me know ifit'sreasonable and that I'll have everything I need? I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible while picking up quality parts. Any recommendations? The only other thing I need to decide on is the Tx/Rx combo. I really want a Dx6i but I'm not sure I want to lay out that amount of cash right now. It will cost more than the heli itself. Thanks!!

Parts from xheli.com:
<span style="color: #000000">Aluminum 450 Barebone Kit Version 2 RC Helicopter Barebone Kit w/ CNC/Aluminum Rotor Head
11T pinion gear

Parts from HobbyKing: (includes one extra servo just in case.)
