Best join some of the Facebook groups (and just ignore some of the recent arguing lol). mtc nationals, mtc racing or something, all things m-chassis
The class is slowly taking off, there was a national series (not brca) this year which grew in support. That has a set of rules 17.5 blinky with a few motors and esc's listed and other rules designed to keep the costs as low as possible. Clubs can run what they want though and I know some allow any 17.5 for example
Rubber and foam is the other mix, go with what your local club runs, foam is quicker but more work.
Xpress, Carten, 3racing, MTS etc, there are a few UK shops which carry them, SpeedRC, Vulcan, m-racing.co.uk etc.
Most do a "cheap" version for £100-130 or so then there are more expensive options. Don't need the more expensive ones, nationals were won this year with the cheaper ones.
