what age is your son? the car is fine. just get a cheap 540 motor and some nimh batteries. this is how i did it with my 7 year old boy.
he has an ecx boost which is much simpler than your AE but the speed will be low enough to withstand the crashes and the tech is relatively safe enough for him to charge and connect the things himself.
i have myself a dex210 brushless machine that once he can handle the brushed version well enough i will let him drive instead
