I think it's best to go to your local track and see what they run over there and what is the spares situation. It's no fun in waiting for two weeks for your parts to arrive.

And one last word. To put the car on the track fully race-ready, if you buy everything brand new, it will cost you about 1200$ to 1600$ depending on the quality of your gear and that is without the radio.

best of luck.
