In terms of ESC I prefer a novak GT7 or TC2.. Best aftermarket service...
In radio stuff I prefer you get a synthesized radio so that it will cost you less $$$ in buying crystal just to avoid glitches during the race proper.. Its up to your budget to what brand you will go..
Motors I prefer the Orion or the corally if it is supported by your hobby shop nearest to you...
Hope I help a little as to what you will need to buy.... Happy racing bro!!!
