My suggestion would be to pick up a cheap new or secondhand Tamiya TT-01 chassis for a start and see how it goes, you will always have to buy charger,batts, radio gear, esc, motor, shells, tyres whatever chassis you run so maybe try to find a cheap package deal on E-Bay, if you like drifting then you can sell the TT-01 chassis and keep the rest in a few months and buy something a bit better, I started with a £35 Tamiya TL-01 package.
If you dont like it then you can sell the whole lot and not lose too much money, you can pick up a new TT-01 with shell and light kit on E-Bay for about 60 quid, as for the charger and the rest, the sky is the limit
BTW are you from Sutton Cambs?

BTW i would like to fit the yokomo soarer body on to this kit as my cousin has a 1:1 version so a suitable chasis would help.

i would go with yokomo..... but u need to know where can u get back up parts for the your gonna get if u brake anything. i would choose yokomo but if their isnt any back up parts then get the tamaya either way..... plus yokomo comes with tires,chassis,and
body but you would need radio gear, motor,esc,charger,paint,battery...... i say a yokomo is a better buy....

Yokomo is a better car all round, but you pay for it.
And it's no good to this guy either, he is from good ol' GB. He will be scratching his head for spares support.
Tamiya is the best way to get you started.
