Default Noob motor question

Hi I'm sorry if this has been asked before .
I have a TR02V2 RTR as my first toe dip back into 1/10 buggys after 30 years and I'm really enjoying it but i'm a little confused over the motor's spec ,it's the absima Thrust 10T but i read a review that suggested it was a 380 motor in a 540 sized can ,is this correct ?
The main reason i'm asking is that i'm building a second car to maybe try some modest track racing at the SHRCCC near Farnborough ,its a TC02 or Lupuz or Mad monkey depending on what you want to call it , i know it wont be up there with the big boys but it should be better than the TR02V2 on a high grip track ,any way I'm at the point of getting a motor and esc for it and I've been looking at the Turnigy TrackStar motors and esc's as they are on budget for me but now I'm not sure what motor to get ,I'm looking at getting the ROAR approved ones and probably the 80amp esc but don't know what motor to get ,I'd like to get one thats a little quicker than the one in the TRO2V2 but is a 10t TrackStar motor the same or way better than the Thrust 10t ,or would i be better of with a different motor of similar budget ?
I just can't justify spending 80 quid on a motor so please bear that in mind with suggestions .
thanks for any help .
