You mean, like this?> http://www.axialracing.com/products/ax90028
OK, that's not a kit. But point being, $200 is not going to get you where you want to go. Gonna need a little more scratch than that, mate.
If you have experience with kits, you may be able to find some you can use to convert. There are some guys here who are into what you're looking to do.
And ebay is a good place to pick up used chassis for project trucks, cheap. Keep snooping.

Umm only thing I can think fore pre-assembled axles is buying a used roller off ebay, but that probably would set you back more then your budget.
Axial kits are not hard to put together, and would only take a few hours tops.But the kits are $250 starting (for the dingo), and would require almost $100 in electronics to rock crawl
The HPI crawler King might do the job, not sure though if it would fit the body you want though...

Yeah I agree with these guys. 200$ unfortunatly isnt enough for something to put that body on. For example axial acx10comes with a jeep body but its about 380$ u could get a roller but that would most likely take all ur money and then u need a servo and motor/esc as well as a rx/tx and batteries.
Save a bit more more and then get what u want.

Honestly if you have any crawling planned I'd go with the Axial Dingo for the same price as I'm pretty sure (looking at the CC01's chassis) the axial would smoke it.
The CC01 IMO is more for a scale style design as it has A-arms in the front, and a solid axle in the rear more like how a real car has it setup.

The dingo is a kit right?
What about the redcat rs10? Its 155$ and with some mods im sure the jeep body would fit? It wouldnt match for the wheel wells but atleast that way u could have a crawler and the jeep body for around the 200$ mark.
U could make ur own links to shorten the wheel base to make it fit better.
Just slit ballin here but THAT sounds like a good project for ur price range.
Btw thats a kit so u would still need a motor and esc batteries and romote receiver.
A good esc/motor would be ~100 remotes can be found for 30$ and u would need a battery 20-50$ and a charger (thunder charger ac680 for about 55$) so all that plus that kit puts u at aboutt 420$ish
