If you are not a serious racer and just take it for fun, here I saw a guy selling Tamiya TB02D for $140. It is a shaft driven car but already has some upgrade in it like TRF shocks(this is the most attractive part) and aluminum drive shaft, plus it has 540 23T motor in it which you might be able to use in your local race. It is not a popular car at the moment but you can still find parts somewhere, search for the price for TB02D on the internet (it is not normal TB02), you will find 140 is very cheap.
