I would recommend jumping in at the deep end so to speak. Vrc won't prepare you for the track at Mansfield and bashing is NOTHING like driving on a race track. Stay away from 4wd buggies, no one runs them at Mansfield. A 2wd is needed.
Don't spend much on the buggy itself, put your money into the radio and servo to give you the best chance of keeping it under control. I've seen too many beginners struggling to get clean laps With their top spec buggies because their radio system has so much lag and the servo is too slow and weak.
Do you want to use a stick or wheel radio?
Sensored esc and motor combo is needed. The speed passion reventon s with 13.5 competition is plenty. I've won b finals in the past with less power. It's reasonably priced at £65 too.
n't be sucked into spending loads of cash on them. The same goes for a charger. I've been using a £15 turnigy accucell for over a year and it's been perfect.
