What chassis should i choose that will accept a lipo and be fairly easy to setup?
Best to choose one that is popular at where you plan to race. Most of today's lipo chassis cars have basic setup that will work at most tracks but then need a little fine tuning when the grip changes/comes up. BMI Link cars, RC125R's, CRC's probably being the most popular.
What range of tyres should i buy?
Depends on the venue's carpet as to which ones to get. So seek advice where you intend to race.
I have a 9650 low profile servo that i assume will do the job
Yes or you could use the Futaba 9602, or KO 947's etc
only have larger sized esc's. Can i buy a bodyshell to allow for the extra height or do i need to invest more money in a slimmer esc?
Buy a closed cockpit shell as these give you more room under the shell for your electronics
What spares are essential to carry?
lower front wishbones, side springs, damper tube lube, shock springs
