I'd see if you can get a used chassis. Argus engines are quite cheap, I wouldn't rule out used engines but unless you know their history can be a bit dodgey buying that way.
Losi 8ight chassis are good, spares widely stocked. AE are good, with great back up. As I've just said in another post you'd do well to get along to the club or clubs you'll be racing at and see what people are running. If you have a car that a few or a lot of others are running at that club and you break something chances are someone can help you out so your day isn't over too early.
What's your budget ? If you only want to do it for fun and it's not too serious the Losi 8ight RTR is great, everything you need INCLUDING starter box. You could even sell the radio it comes with. I think if you search Layloo on here he had one for sale last week but it might have already gone ?
