Welcome back to the sport Shane. As the guys above say the most popular tyres are the mini pins but they do wear out. Some people are also using the Schumacher Venom white compound on the rear as these last forever and running a 13.5T brushless setup. The intention is to use the latter as a separate "stock buggy" class if there is enough interest.
On the LIPO front, the only real requirement is that they are hard-cased. Lots of people run Turnigy LIPOs which aren't on the BRCA list but they should be! They offer top performance for 1/2 the price of brands like Orion, Reedy etc. Another good brand is Gens Ace which are similarly priced and also on the BRCA list.
A B4 is a great buggy to start with although mid-motored buggies such as the Cougar SV2, Team C TC02c, Durango DEX210, Hobao H2 pro etc are better suited to the high-grip carpet track.
