Hi Jamie, as Cutting42 said.
With Lipos/Brushless motor, don't be scared to buy 2nd hand if you want to save a few £££ - brushless motors don't need as much (if any) maintenance as brushed motors and Lipos last a hell of a lot longer (several years from a single pack is possible) than Nicads. They don't need to be (and mustn't!!) discharged before recharging and can be recharged straight after a race without having to let them cool. Do bear in mind, however, that you will need a Lipo charger as charging them on a Nicad cycle may cause bad things to happen!
Welcome back to the hobby
