May I throw a different perspective on this for you!
Wanting to get back into racing and have something to do with your daughter. You need to get down to the clubs where you intend to race and see what they use.
As you are on a budget, why not ask around those clubs and on oople for preowned equipment. You can then see roughly what it should look like, take it to bits, then rebuild as per manual. That way you may get a far better standard of car for your money, buy new shells, your daughter will love her own design and if she loses interest you will not lose too much on resale.
Also if you both get addicted, like the rest of us you can then consider what is new on the scene at that time.
Maybe buy the same type of car to reduce the amount and cost of spares.
The 4wd Durgas seem a good fairly competitive starter. Many owners look to upgrade to the TRF501 or 511, once hooked and saved up!
