Both Blistercoil Weird  and Nivmagus Elemental  are pretty bad. Some cheap good 1 cmc cards would be Stonewright  , Diregraf Ghoul  , Goblin Arsonist  . Also, if you get a playest of Diregraf ghouls, you can keep the gravecrawlers. What you REALLY need to do is to get rid of the 5+ cmc cards (including explosive impact) and add some cheap creatures (like Knight of Infamy  , Gore-House Chainwalker  , Lightning Mauler  ) and some cheap spells (like Bump in the night  , Pillar of Flame  ). Still the deck looks far better than the initial version, so you are on the right track.

Say no to Walls in Aggro decks. They want to do exact opposists.
Say no to Flunkies. He's too easy for your opponent to turn him into a dead card.
Add 2 Spears to that list.
You can do without the Spasms and GUildmages.

On the topic of Guttersnipe  , do you want a burn deck, or do you want a B/R creature based aggro deck? Because in a creature heavy deck, I don't think he has a spot. I would suggest Crimson Muckwader  if creature aggro is what you want. He's cheap as chips and definitely underrated.
I want to be Cultured.

I was looking at using the walls to slow down the enemy especially if I am moving to an aggro burn deck using mostly CMC 1 and CMC 2 creatures ...

As I said above ... I am looking to make a Aggro burn deck ... so a bit of both ...

Aggro burn is a bit of an open ended concept. You're either going to end up with an Aggro deck that looses some steam because you have too much burn, or a Burn deck that putters out to fast because you have too many creatures.
There are 2 formulas you should think about:
Aggro-Removal Heavey
16 Slots for Burn
22 Slots for Creatures
22 Slots for Land
Burn
20 Slots for Burn/Vexing Devil
12 Slots for Creatures
21 Slots for Land
7 Slots for utility (Card Draw)

BIG CHANGES
2 x Rakdos Guildgate 
12 x Mountain 
10 x Swamp 
4 x Reckless Waif 
4 x Goblin Arsonist
2 x Rakdos Cackler 
4 x Rakdos Shred-Freak 
3 x Guttersnipe
4 x Hellhole Flailer
4 x Bump in the Night 
4 x Annihilating Fire
4 x Pillar of Flame
2 x Traitorous Instinct 
1 x Deviant Glee 
I can replace the Flailers with Stonewrights if that is better
First off, I'd cut the guildgates out, and swap some of the Swamps for Mountains. Since the maximum amount of mana demanded by any one card in this deck is four, I personally think that 24 land is a bit much. Also, your deck isn't all that greedy for black mana. As it stands, it looks like mountains should be your priority.
I'd cut Deviant Glee; you would probably want another creature in it's place in most situations. For a budget deck, I think Flailer is an okay card. Honestly, I'm not all that certain you want to cut it for Stonewright. However; I think Stonewright definitely has a place in this deck. Try out going to three Flailer and adding the four Stonewright in the spots freed up by cutting Glee and the guildgates.
Also, go Searing Spear  over Annihilating Fire; the regeneration clause on the Fire isn't worth the extra mana, IMHO.
I'm not sold on Traitorous Instinct. I can see how it could be useful, but there are also situations where it would be dead in the hand. You might try Archwing Dragon  in it's place, or add in more cheap creatures. Two I might look at would be Pyeheart Wolf  or Ashmouth Hound  .
As someone who often plays on a very tight budget, I can appreciate why you might want to stick to a rareless list like this; but I would definitely recommend you head over to SCG or a similar site and look at the RDW/RkDW list that have placed high in recent weeks, and consider picking up some of the cards that those decks are based on. Specifically, I'd try to get a set of Ash Zealot  , and, if at all possible, a few Hellrider  . I know those cards are going up in price, but if you'r looking at improving your RkDW, I think they'd work wonders. Totally understandable if you don't want to spring for them, though.
