Great platform for what you are looking to do but I would seriously consider an m2c chassis or a bash bar. Another option that is super durable and cheap to fix is the new 4s kraton v2. Its almost the same size and just about as fast. Much more durable with less upgrades.

I’d buy an RTR first, then upgrade as necessary.

I would like to try and build something that way it’s more likely I stick with the hobby since I will have to put effort into it before I just go play

For OEM stock parts Cheap, there's no better place than JennysRC.com it's the best source.
When buying pre-owned..
Just do your due diligence.. there are sellers who use older photos that shows their vehicles in "was" better condition than what is currently.
So you should ask to make sure the photos shown are of CURRENT condition.
Just a heads up.
You can do a search for > dumpster fire
to see how good it can be...

How much experience do you have? Budget? How hard are you going to bash? If I was somewhat new to the hobby I would get an RTR and see if the RC bug sticks and learn more about wrenching. Upgrade as you go. If you are comfortable wrenching and plan on staying in the hobby I would get the roller and make it how I want it from the start. This generally costs more upfront but worth it in the long run.
