Motorwise you could get a speed passion motor for around £35 - £40 or keep an eye on Oople for second hand brushless motors. I bought a couple off here. 8.5 would be a good new starter motor.
Modelsport sell 2S centro Lipo's which are 5000mah for about £40 bang for buck these are really good and what I currently use.
People tend to use 2.4ghz radio gear these days, mid range wheels systems can be had for a decent price, if you use sticks then your options are pretty limited.
Let me know if you want to know anything else.
Hi Lofty

That's great thanks for your reply! Will return the stuff when it arrives and put it towards better elecs. That ESC looks good and Speed Passion's have been mentioned a few times, can only see 6.5t or 10.5t available though. Would 6.5 be a bit much at first, or would 10.5 be abit sluggish?
Would you reckon a 5000mah and a 3000mah would be enough for a race day?
I'm definitely a stick man, could I still use my old transmitter or would it not be allowed? Worst case scenario would this do the job to get me started: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/absima-...roducts/407387

Thanks again
