Thanks again for the advise guys.
I described and wrote down the main makes and models of competition cars for this lady and explained that if the lad was going to race he would need something reasonably decent.
I also said that great second hand deals can be found. ebay, forums, clubs etc.
RTR's may not be the best thing but for a beginner there would be no confusion about all the details.. its all there in one package.
Luckily this lasy is an electronics engineer and knows all about lipo's and chargers so I didnt have to do any explaining there.
Whatever the lad ends up with, I'm sure its going to be a whole lot better than a conker on a bit of string and a slap round the back of the coconut.
The yoof of today dont know how lucky they are!
