Hi mate, if funds are limited, I would have a look at one of the new breed of 200mm pan cars. I have a BMI chassis and it runs brilliantly. I know that you are intrested in TC's but after running mine around our local track, loads of people came over to see what was under the shell, and then really suprised to see it was a pan car with 'only' a 4 cell pack in it! It outran the TC's with ease as well!! By getting one of these chassis's, that would save you a fair bit for your brushless setup, etc. Food for though, cheers!
