What RTR For my 8 Year Old Son?
Guys need some advice, my 8 year old son still has some of his xmas money left and want's to buy an RC car. He has seen one of those cheap nasty toy rc cars in Tesco
 but i'm trying to change his mind about it  and would like to hear what other options i could show him? It would need to be a full RTR car and on a tight budget he's got £50 now but i'm sure i could put the same again to it for him so around £100Something off road that he could play around with but also if he wanted to we could take along to the local club for him to have a go at racing Any thoughts? Cheers

the maverick cars aren't too bad for the money. Available from any HPI stockist. They do a 4wd buggy or a truck.
also the Ansmann Macnum is OK for the money. The shocks are as bad as the madrat ones, but the bigger truck shell protects them in a crash unlike the madrat. both will be fine for bashing and spares are pretty cheap. other than that, a second hand B4 rtr would be good

Ive recently started playing with one of these...
 rc18r great fun for driving up and down your drive and on gravel and snow. Few advantages.. Parts are cheap There pretty undestructable They look like a real car which is good with younger children And there currently only £69.95 RTR at DMS racing. A

+1 for the Associated 1/18th... top value kit... everything you need (inc radio..) for @ £70..! FTX do a 1/18th Buggy for £100 thereabouts... I've got both, the buggy is better for outside IMO... still tho', the car is capable of a bit of rough stuff too... depends which you prefer the look of really...

You wont go far wrong with any of the maverick range tbh, and for the little bit more you can get a 1/10th scale truck or buggy that will go anywhere.
As good as the Associated 1/18th is it is an 18th and your lad will be limited on where he can run it Check the maverick range out here http://www.hpiracing.co.uk/catalogue...and=MV&pg=CEPF
