Best R/C truck for my 9 yo son for Christmas?
It’s been YEARS since I was into RC seriously, so I’m sort of out of the loop with not a lot of time to research. My 9yo son wants a “real” RC car for Christmas, can anyone recommend a good starter RC that meets the following criteria?
1. Electric
2. Inexpensive (not cheap)
3. Stadium truck or tall buggy for playing with in the front yard (grass, driveway, gravel, etc)
4. Perfect for young (9yo) first timer, to give him experience of building an RC, without deep pockets of a carbon fiber “racing” model.
Thanks!
(BTW: I currently have my own, Nitro Evader gas truck that we play with together, but it’s a PITA because it’s gas and needs a lot of tinkering, plus it’s very delicate (or too fast) because every time I run it, I’m replacing control arms or suspension components) so durability would be a REALLY nice feature since he’ll more than likely be a very crazy driver at first.
