Earlier this week I bought my son (Lewis) the following as part of his Xmas box

Got the delivery free on that, so was £150 all in.

I then got to thinking that it might be worthwhile buying something for him to practice with before we unleash him with a brushless buggy and then I could use it and if I get interested it could be a cheap starting point so I bought this

Did i get reasonable value for money with these?

Also at least we will have some ready spares if he has an accident or three which he undoubtedly will.

I bought him a balance charger that can be used with both AC and DC so he will have the basics to get started, he is itching to have another visit!
