you can get second hand electrics that will serve you well and save a packet. Try to go for respected brands as they will generally last longer.
You can pick up second hand KO radio gear (esprit II gold knobs stick transmitter) or servos (2123, fast metal gear, about £30-35). My servos are second hand 2123's and i've been using them for 4 years.
chargers are also good second hand. With the life of lipo cells these days they also make second hand, just make sure you get them from a respected racer who won;t have abused them.
brushless gear will also last longer than older brushed speedo's/motors.
look around and take your time, there are always bargains cropping up on here
