Any recommendations for an ESC and Radio stuff?

Or I could just get the RTR? Bear in mind I have a budget of around $400AU - an absoulute maximum of $500AU.
We run the Cyclone S sedan as a 'Spec Electric' class in local club racing. I started with the kit that included the Stratus body.

I added the HPI Saturn 27T motor #HPI1144, Acoms Technisport 2.4gHz radio and a couple of Duratrax Piranha 1500mAh NiCad battery packs. So far the car has been brilliant and I haven't broken anything. I did add a wide front bumper as a preventative measure and used the BRP wide bumper designed for the TC3 with a few mods to make it fit.
