The first step is to find out what classes they run at your local track. Then start with the slowest one! Ideally they will have a 13.5 or 17.5 blinky class. The Team Powers is a fantastic motor in blinky for reasonable money. Trinity D4 is also very good. ESC wise the performance of the top brands (LRP, Hobbywing, Tekin) is all the same, so pick whichever you fancy. I like the Hobbywing for price, reliability and ease of setup via the program box.
For indoors definitely go with an Xray, it's the strongest car and as competitive as anything else. And popular so easy to steal setup. They update the car every year so there's loads of good used T4'14s and '15s around which are almost the same as the current car.
