The best bet is to come along on a Tuesday and have a chat.
Schumacher is probably the most popular car so there will be lots of us able to help there.

A transponder is needed even for club nights so look to get an AMB Harry. The club has one or two that you can borrow for the first couple of weeks to get you going but you'll need your own soon. As far as Lipos are concerned you'll want a set of "saddles" (used in pairs), or a single "shorty" depending on your car setup. Check the Schumacher website for CoreRC lipos to get you up and running. 2 sets is about the minimum you need for racing.

Tyres we sell at the club or you can buy direct from insideline models, or Schumacher.
You'll want minipin rears and cut stagger fronts. Yellow compound.

That probably covers it. I'm not too sure about the radio gear but I always recommend just getting something cheap to start with and upgrade later once the other costs drop off. Getting started is always the most expensive time. The same goes for electrics really. Any 8.5 to 10.5 should be fine and virtually any Speedo.
