assuming your buy a kit that doesnt include everything
(some kits on ebay and at towerhobbies has these items
included)

in a ready to run kit the only things you will need are:

a glow plug ignitor/starter
heres an example

AA batteries ....most use 8 in the radio and 4 inside the car.

and fuel

yah I've recently found out that a nitro engine can start while being off... lol I won't go into this accident :D anyways yah if your new to RC, RTR would give you everything you need but fuel and batteries. Most come witha pull starter or a electric starter. Nitro is also a lot cheaper overall than electric.
