What would a good radio set be for an initial setup, say £100
Likewise for a motor/ESP, I am thinking 8.5t as advised above.
Lipos I am ok with I think, but what would a good recommended charger be? Is a dual needed if I run with two batteries?
Thanks

First question back at you, sticks or wheel? The problem with sticks is there is not much between very cheap and very expensive. Also I am not a stick user so have no experience. You have lots of choice on wheel radios, for your budget I would personally get a Futaba PL3 or Sanwa MX-V or Spectrum DX4C.
If you want a recommendation on ESC/Motor everyone will push they stuff they use. I use Corally Cerix Pro speedos and Corally Dynospeed Mod X 3.0 motors but I am a Team Corally supported driver so I would say that
. Seriously, pretty much any major make will do you just fine. Look for dealer support, and what the local racers run to see what is reliable and also what your budget is.
I started with a simple Core UAC 50 charger, mains powered and around £50 or so. There are many chargers that are around the £40 mark that will all do the job just fine, the Corally Race 60 is one
. You don't need a dual charger unless there are two of you racing at the same time or running multiple classes. You can charge up two batteries before your race day, run practice , swap batteries and while you run the first heat, recharge the first battery and so on throughout the meeting.
