In answer to your PM, I think I'd better make plain that many touring cars come as kits - that means none of the other gubbins you need to run.
My TC3 FT suggestion is one such kit - I believe they don't even supply wheels!
That being said, a kit can be doable on a budget - just don't buy basic kit at new prices, as you'll be upgrading in no time - this goes particularly for 27mhz radio gear and brushed motors and ESCs - everyone has some of these rolling around in their spares boxes, and will virtually give them to you. Talk nicely to your new club-mates, and ask lots of questions!
The other option is a RTR set - the Hot Bodies Cyclone S is quite a nice example - the shell alone is worth £30! It also has a wealth of hop-ups - the listings for 3rd party parts for the Cyclone S is nearly as long as the TT-01 on the RCMart website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the parts for the Hot Bodies Cyclone are compatible with the Cyclone S, so you can gradually upgrade it, as much as you like, to the status of a full-on competition touring car.
