He is only 4 (5 in august) so probably a bit young to go racing but He is now asking me to build him a track.

My son had the Plasma Edge as his first car and it can be upgraded to a race-able level with hop ups. My sons car ended up with a 11t brushless system, lipo batteries and 2.4Ghz radio. We fitted bearings all round, upgraded the steering system/servo and put decent shocks on it. Then fitted proper race tyres and it was a great learner car. He raced for a year at an outdoor astro track and it was very robust, surviving many crashes.
He now has an SX2 bought second hand from here and is getting competitive.
