Default What car to buy

Hi, My son has shown interest in buying a car. I see on the bury site that 1/8 cars are the most popular. I live near Bury, so thats probibly where I would take him. So now my question is, as a total newbie,what car do you recomend that I buy my son, he's 12. I would appreciate any advice, as I dont want to waste money on a car that cant be used properly on the track. Thanks. Geoff

yout prob best off with one of the hobao range of bugies "say a hyper 8.5 or even a 7" both come rtr n the 8.5 can be got as a brca edition too which should be a good starter! theyre tough and as ben rielys proven are competitive plus they can be upgraded as skill/ funds allow
