Help please

[mike]

Hi Guys,
I've been down to Bury and had a play a few years ago but I'm looking at getting back into things again. What I'm after is some advice on what car to go for.
What I'm looking for is a reliable car 2 or 4wd or possibley that traxas slash short course truck thing (i know i'll break stuff so I'd have to be able to get parts easily). I think I want brushless due to ease of maintainance (so I've read) and probably lipo - again because there is far less farting around with charging/discharging and balancing.
So this is my list of what I think I need (could you please fill in any blanks inc what makes to go for)
Car, motor/speed controller, battery packs (how many?), charger, wheels/tyres, spares package. I've already got a tranny, reciever, tools and bits and I've got a budget of £500 for the initial purchase.

I know it's a big ask but any help will be greatfully recieved.

Mike
