No guys i think he means hes looking to buy a rally car, its not going to be an xmod, he wants to buy an RC that is meant for rally racing...

I have no idea, whats out there now i stopped following RC and manufacturers. BUT if your looking for 1:16 though there are a ton of baja cars and trucks that will be easily converted for rally racing c=since it is essentially the same thing anyway...

a TT01 can be modified to do rally
you need:

- dremel to grind away some of the suspension droop stop
- 60-70mm shocks
- turnbuckle steerin set
- aluminum driveshaft (called propeller shaft. try gettin a 1-way shaft)
- rally block tires
- misc rubber tubes and zip ties to protect your dogbones and shocks from dirt
- spare plastic to make an inner body to keep dirt out of your electronics

other goodies are stronger aluminum knuckles, rubber-sealed bearings, and inner foam for the tires. also, there are waterproof esc's and motors that might come in handy, though they're pricey.

balloons also help if you put something like your receiver in it and zip tie it to keep water out.

i rally'd my tt01 for a while in the winter when the snow was too thick to drift on.
