Now there obviously aren't cars already designed for this purpose so I need to get something that I can easily adjust to suit my needs
I have a Tamiya TRF419 which is kinda setup for this type of driving but its no optimal, 4wd is overkill and not scale (Toyota 86) and not enough steering angle. So I'm considering getting a RWD Drift chassis like the one linked and slapping on grippy tires instead. That way it will have all the steering angle I need, electronics layout that is optimal for RWD and much quieter at low speeds due to no front driveshafts.
The problems
-Is the ackermann settings going to be too extreme?
-With a front motor, is it still possible to generate enough grip so that the car doesn't slide all other the place? Will be using a 21.5t motor and I'm quiet tame with the throttle
What are your thoughts? Is this worth pursuing?

you may get ideas from pan cars as they are RWD
Look into the WGT-R (World Grand Touring Rubber) class. The class uses a simple RWD pan car design that been around for ages combined with rubber tires that allow the cars to handle more like a 1:1. (and the tires squeel in the corners!) Plus with realistic looking GT/street car bodies its is very scale.
