another thing to consider is what racing you will be doing this year and where. There is a good chance that LIPO cells will be allowed next year at BRCA events, so instead of investing in 4-5 sets of NIMH cells, you may be able to get away with 1-2 LIPO packs.
If you just plan to run at a club for the next few months and then gear up to regionals etc next year, check if the club will currently Allow LIPO. If they do then this may be a better bet as you can use the cells for the next couple of years or more, unlike NIMH which tend to only last 6 months or so before suffering some drop off in performance.
If you want to get NIMH at the moment to be BRCA legal for this year, then make sure that any charger you get also has LIPO compatibility to save you getting a new one in the near future. Same goes for the speedo, most new brushless ones support LIPO cut off etc.
I'd also get a good servo for the car. KO are very good but expensive new, a second hand 2123 would do fine, or a new hitec etc.
