Destroyed my DB01 Durga chassis. What should I swap the electronics into? Is it worth it? Need general advice, I'm not that experienced with this

Hi,

I have a Durga 01 I brought maybe 10 years ago. It was already used, and the 4WD system malfunctioned so I took some parts out and made it RWD only.

I have no idea what motor it has, but the ESC is branded Tamiya. I usually run a 3S lipo in it, and it seems to handle it fine. I run a FRSky receiver in it because the only controller I have is a Turnigy 9xr pro back form when I flew lots of RC planes. I was more into planes than cars.

Anyway I charged up the lipo after like ten years and it worked, the car is very fast and hard to control because it's only RWD now, also hard because of the transmitter being an RC plane mode 2, so no little steering wheel makes it hard to steer. Also the throttle is sticking on full, I think maybe the transmitter has bad contacts, and I went straight into a gutter/drain, smashed the front strut/shock tower.

I'm currently trying to epoxy it back together, but I want to just buy a new chassis and swap the electronics over if it's worth it? I almost feel like I should just buy everything new?

I'm not sure if I want to get 4WD or 2WD. The 2WD is fun for sliding around but given how powerful they are it's very hard to control. Will be mainly driven around dirt jumps and stuff. I asked chat GPT and it suggested either the DT-03 for RWD or TT-02B for 4WD. Does this sound about right? I wish there was a model that could easily select between RWD and 4WD?

I was thinking either the neo scorcher or plasma edge.

I'm open to any suggestions of any other models. I really prefer the looks of old school buggies like the Hornet. But not sure if they would be as good to drive as the more modern ones.

I'm also open to suggestions on a replacement radio transmitter and receiver, just something good value and reliable with simple charging maybe?
