lipo, esc, motor & charger advice

[gainsy]

Hi all
Decided to upgrade to lipo & brushless as i am getting a sx2
Could someone please advise me on a good package?
Will need a stick lipo 7.4v, a good charger for home & track ie AC/DC & a brushless combo, will 1 lipo do me for a meet? or will i need 2?
I have around the £200 mark for this lot, is that reasonable? or am i dreaming
Will be racing down at Watford before i try the regional's, is there a motor limit at these regional's as don't want to buy the wrong set up
Anything i might have forgotten please feel free to put me right as a bit of a newbie to lipo's & brushless
Cheers
Gainsy

single Lipo should be fine to get you going. make sure you get a balance charger for best results.

For your budget, you are best keeping an eye on on the "For Sale" section on here - that way you should be able to pickup some quality gear that won't need replacing as quickly. Aim for getting sensored BL motor/ESC - stuff from Speed Passion, LRP/Nosram, Novak, Tekin etc crops up from time to time and are all worth a look.

For the money you looking to spend I would go for a Hobbywing 120a V2.1

An Intellect Lipo - The high C rating the better - must be BRCA legal if your looking to do regionals.

B6 style charger - About £20-30

All the above from a popular auction site and from Hong Kong.

Re the motor I would see if you can get one second hand from the for sale section on here - popular winds for 4wd are 5.5 or a 6.5.

As matty said but buy from the UK so that you have support if you need it!

Thanks guys for the advice
Yeah will only buy from the Uk & will keep my eyes out for sale items on here
Changed my mind on the car, getting a new B44 now on friday

I understand the beneifts of buying from the UK and I think where ever possible you should support your local model shop, however I think you'll struggle to get everthing your after for £200 or less from the UK unless you buy second hand everything. At least buying everything from HK it would have been new.

I've bought loads of r/c stuff from around the world without ever having an issue.
