Little Johnny who wants to start racing will only be misinformed if he is misinformed by his local club.
No one I have ever known in all my years running a club has decided to start racing and first found out about the BRCA and then bought all his equipment based on the rules for the class he fancies having a go at. Every new racer I have ever known has started by going to his local club and asking questions, and any decent club will tell them what the basics are they need to get them going, not what they must buy to be competitive.
As for new racers buying equipment that isn't BRCA legal, I would say at least 90% of brand new racers will have illegal equipment. RTR touring cars and buggies come with Mabuchi 540 motors, first brushless systems being Hobbywing sensorless systems - cheap but not BRCA legal. Cheap nimh cells that came with the car, again not BRCA legal.
Any decent club shouldn't care what electrics are in a beginners car, the whole point is just to get them started and take things from there.
