Hey,
Overall you seem to have a good idea about what you need.
Radio gear is very much a personal choice. If you can try to hold the tranny in your hand, all the top ones have nearly all the same functions, so it can come down to what is comfortable for you.
(I personally run a Sawna Exzes, cos I like the feel of it. At the Euros I noticed that Neil Cragg was running Futaba.)
The 2.4ghz radios do not use xtals that you would know from years ago. The tranny and receiver are 'bound' together. So when they are turned on the just know to work together, not to get too technical.
Batteries either that you have mentioned will be grand for racing, and will give you more power and duration then you thought possible 10 years ago.
The LRP is a good choice. (I personally run a Novak & 7.5 in a B4.) There are lots of people running the LRP so there will be no problems in getting any help. The 7.5t motor will leave the car quick enough but still easy enough to drive.
Charger again a good choice.
A discharge, balancer is also a good buy, look at the Novak smart tray or similar. These are used to equalise all the cells in the pack down to a level before charging.
Tyres: depends on where you are going to race, best to ask a local at the club.
BRCA: Can't help there as I'm outside of the UK.
MiCk B. :-)
