Depends on your sons competence. For Adam its a case of getting round the track cleanly, irrespective of speed / performance etc etc, which its doing it job for. He's come on so well. When you do start racing I would advise as much track time as possible for him - we go to the meetings early so he can have 1 hour at least driving round, makes a big difference for him.
I cant see the problem with it to be honest, it does what it says.
Good luck!
EDIT: I got the B4.1 for me so we could share spares, makes things so easy and cheaper!. Also it comes with full instructions to buy the RTR and strip it down, then rebuild.

Good to know thanks - he is ok for a 6yo, the lazer had a 19t brushed in it and he was ok with EPA tweaked a bit. Does the RTR tranny or speedo have enough tweaks in it to reduce initial punch and top end? I know its not the greatest system in the world, but no matter what i get him, I expect him to break it at some point anyway so I won't spend £300 on an LRP system just yet... And that is the thing, he will break it, i will break mine I just don't want to break the bank either...
Are the springs that far out for a newcomer?
