hi andy. well i am 15 and i started rc when i was around 7-8ish, i started with a really basic un modifyable buggy from a lhs. this lasted a while till i drove it into the local canal. it wasnt a known make but it was ace for me, anyway after that before i got my rc10b4 last xmas, i had a mega motors suberu imprezza 2wd car
http://www.dealclick.co.uk/review/11...reza-WRC--.php , very fast for a begginner and great fun till i got to 14yearsold. id recommend one of these, RTR and charger, battery, remote all with it, ud get about 20-30 mins runtime wit this.
also if not then have a look at a RTR tt-01 tamiya car, theres some nice shells for them and you can modify them and get different batteries.
good luck anyway and hope your daughter gets into it!
