Thanks for the advice, just what I was looking for. Also thanks for recommending Barley Mow, I didn't know about it, and it's closer to me as I'm over in East Durham. Good to know there's two clubs I could attend.
Looking at the TT02, the cheapest there appears to be is this one (ModelSport have it for £99).

It looks like it comes with the BLE-02S ESC which from what I've read can handle a brushless motor down to 10.5, not sure if that supports LIPO though as it doesn't have a voltage cut-off.
For £20 more theres a TT02 with the Subaru shell, but given I'm on a budget that £20 could be spent on something else as I doubt the shell is going to make much difference other than looks for the time being.
Either way, if I purchase this, some radio gear, a quick charger and a couple of battery sticks, then I guess that should at least get me started and give me a route for progression via a new motor.
