Have a look at the following thread for some of the basics.

You also need small phillips and slotted screwdrivers, a needle point oiler like they use for model railways, tape to clean your tyres (masking tape is OK but some use duck tape or similar), small standard and long nose pliers and a decent pair of medium sized tweezers are handy.
The rest of mine is filled up with a few spares (pinions, crowns, braid, spacers and tyres) but spares aren't essential for a beginner and we stock some at club anyway.
The Polybutler is a good race case but quite expensive and a bit bulky. AB Slotsport also sell race cases but, again, they are quite expensive and are more biased towards BSCRA racing. The Polybutler is ideal if you are carrying a lot of cars around but if you only want to carry a couple of car for a particular club night then you might be better off with a small plastic toolbox or maybe something meant for fishing tackle. I have even seen people turn up with all their kit in a carrier bag or cardboard box. It isn't what you carry the cars in that really matters - it is how they go when you get em on track that makes the difference.
