For the motor, it really just depends on how serious people are where you race. If guys are running "red dot" or otherwise tuned silver cans you'll be at a significant disadvantage. If not, then it's all good.
I'd recommend just building the kit bone stock plus bearings and running it that way for a while. It takes a while to learn to drive these things and after a few races you'll know where you stand.

The stock Tamiya ESC is actually pretty good for club racing the Minis, as long as everyone sticks with a spec driveline. If you get into a situation where people are running different motors or "tuned" (cheaters!) cans like red dots, then you may be at a slight disadvantage.
The Novak XRS is a great upgrade ESC for minis. It's affordable, very small/light, and does offer a slight upgrade from the Tamiya ESC.
