3Racing and other parts are readily available in the UK.
As for the electrics, unless you are pushing on or can feel differences in power delivery etc, then you can get away with the cheaper end, but just remember that they are either a) buying the product from someone like HobbyWing or b) due to Chinese lack of copyright, blatantly copying a product. What you don't get with Turnigy is the constant development/deefback which gives us such high class ESC's that we have now where even the ones aimed at the club racer are sufficient for most purposes that they are used in.
Hope that maybe answers your questions about cost, quality and development. I.E. Turnigy limit cost by reducing quality and neglecting development but you still get a reasonable product in your hand.
