The stock lens is alright but majorly lacks zoom, a telephoto lens with atleast 200mm will be useful, it may sound like too much but will allow real close ups of the cars, although saying that, on one of the ones I linked above it does start at 90mm which may actually be to close if its a small track but fine for taking pics out and about. Since the stock lens stops at 55mm, ideally you want the telephoto lens to start at 55mm or as close to as possible.
Another thing worth mentioning, the cheaper side of the dSLR market may struggle if your local RC club is indoors due to the lack of light. Spend £1000 on a dSLR and £2000 on a lense and it'll take awesome indoor shots
Also theres the Canon 400D, 450D which were released after. They may not go for that much more and have some improvements over the previous but not massive differences. You do have to be a little careful, the shutters are rated to a certain amount of pictures, and can fail after that but to be honest the people who take 200,000+ photos probably wouldnt be owning an entry level dSLR, chances are most of them have had very little actual use.
