Default starter rtr for young person. advise please

Hi folks,
A woman turned up at our club today with her young son, about 8 I'd say, and she was asking for some advise to get him started. And as you can imagine, she was a little surprised at the initial cost.

What I know is, is that if you spend a wodge of money on a nice competition model, they are tough and go where you point them.

Generally if you get something cheap they fall to bits and don't go where you point them. And lead to frustration and disappointment.

The first thing that popped into mind was a b4 rtr.

Are there cheaper rtr (brushless) alternatives that are robust and handle properly?

Thanks
Apricot
