Take 12a_rx2's losi man, the car is barely used and the 8ight is one of the best cars currently made.They are very tough and alot of people have converted them to brushless in the states, there is tons of info on converting the 8ight.There super light aswell and there is a reason people choose to convert this chassi because it WORKS!
Buy 12a_rx2's 8ight and you will have a fantastic platform to convert.
