I would back up what is said above. A silvercan and basic speedo is all you need to get started. I hated maintaing the motors etc so Brushless were a godsend, and obviously much cheaper in the long run.
I wouldnt suggest spending a lot of money on a brushed esc and motor though, it would make more sense to get a cheap brushless system.
Just have fun and enjoy racing. Onroad is still the best way to experience close racing in RC.
