Hi jimi,
I was new to this 12months ago and can say through experience that you would be better off buying something half decent to start with, i bought a hyper 7 at first. Soon to realise that i was gonna have to spend to some real money just to keep it on the road (track). This is not a cheap sport by any stretch of the imagination. However once you have covered the initial setup costs, you only have your maintenance/ brakage items to replace.
Alternative ways to get into racing would be to buy a cheap roller such as that from chalky and then get yourself to Morley Models or MB models, to buy the remaining parts, or search the for sale section of this and other forums and you will find some full set ups for sale.
