Default Nitro/Gas Drift Car Project

Man I wish I never sold my Nitro RS4 3 but it was such a PITA since a side collision and front 40 mph collision really screwed up the car so I sold it as is after banging out the chassis with a hammer and reinstalling everything....should have invested in a fail-safe.....lesson learned!

So I got another crazy scheme up my sleeve....I am getting my yearly bonus with my company and I can safely afford a Baja or do this project car I have been thinking about for a while...

I want a gas car preferably or maybe nitro again but due to the cold weather I would prefer gas for ease of tuning...as I heard gas motors are easier to tune?

So basically 1/10 scale and above nitro/gas drifter with real rubber tires and 2 gears that way Iget some decent speed runs and good drifting.

I don't want a RTR. The drifters I am using now are a Sprint 2 Flux and a TT-01E locked rear differential.

Budget: $800 or so

Any suggestions?
