A good kid's beginner RC car?

[SHY]

Guys, my 3 year old daughter just loves RC cars (wonder why )

I've bought a couple of toys, but I can't seem to find something that has these qualities:

-proper radio (like the ones we use, stick or pistol)
-proportional throttle and steering
-more or less unbreakable

Scale doesn't matter, but preferably small (for indoors). Don't need suspension. Preferrably low speed. Doesen't need to be 2,4 GHz.

Any recommendations? International webshop would be aweseome!

Cheers

Try looking at the losi mini8, great Indoors and outdoors and really strong and comes with everything. I know it might be a bit expensive for a three year old but by the time you buy a cheap one and break it then can't get spares and have to buy another the cost soon makes sense

mardave v12 with a 7.2 volt 380 motor on 4 cell nimh, geared low makes an excellent kids car especially with the abs body. word of advice though, stick some hard foam on the outside of the front and rear of the body so it doesnt make such a child satisfying bang when it hits something!

My eldest son is 2 1/2 and he drives (or tries to) an HPI Mini Trophy that I've deliberately slowed to a crawling pace.
Its a pretty big car, but he likes carrying it around and its tough enough to cope with him dropping it. The reason it works well is that the Mini Trophy has a full roll cage under its truck body - this means it survives toddlers sitting on it etc.

The biggest problem isn't the car though - its the transmitter. He can use a old Futaba Attack stick radio with it on a neck strap and he just holds the sticks, but his hands aren't really big enough to grip the set any other way. But its an old 27mhz set and he just breaks the antenna so thats no good.
I've tried him with a few wheel radios but his hands are far too small to go round the grip and pull the throttle trigger.

That little HBX is the same as the Tomy GX I got for my son first. Its very very fast, even the slow setting is pretty nippy and the steering isn't proportional so its quite hard to control. However what is cool is the tiny toddler hand friendly radio it comes with.

Have one of these for the kids to start with, good bit of kit, can really take a beating. the only down side is when you upgrade the motor as they improve the drive shafts pop apart. but with the kit motor bomb proof
