I've thought about stripping an old B4 and building that with him but the exciting thing for a kid is getting and opening a new box.
Taking all the plastics out the bags, off the mouldings and cleaning them up before putting them together so that sort of kills a pre-loved model.
The second thing about an on road car is a fair point but he could only use it at a club, I want him to get used to driving by doing ovals around two cones, then figure of 8's in the garden so it needs to be an off road car. Also he can mess about with it, do donuts and stuff, who doesn't love doing that!
I'm going to bring him on this Friday to Ribble, I think its on. I'm hoping to introduce him to other kids who race, I'm hoping it'll encourage him if he see's others his age racing.
