Suitable car for kids.

[whites75]

so the kids like to watch me tinker with the car aswell as joining me watching the youtube vids now n then and now they want a car each for Christmas. If I was to get them one anyone suggest something suitable please. Don't fancy the toy type ones as if it breaks that's usually that whereas with something like a rtr at least its fixable.

don't want anything that's super fast as they are only 4 and 6yrs old unless the motor can be turned down, but not sure if its poss with rtr cars as unsure of the kit capabilities they are supplied with.

cheers

You can pick up a brushed short course truck pretty cheaply and they can take a bit of hammer.
I converted a nitro truggy to brushless for my 7yo and she loves it (well I told the mrs it was for the kids) I broke it before she did

ha ha nice one. I was thinking poss of a sct for them, or maybe a sct and a buggy ao they can swap, mind you prob just get them same so no arguing starts lol

the other thing is what will I need to make sure both cars can run at same time when playing together?

I have one of these:

which also comes in monster truck flavour:

Great fun, quick nippy & nothing has broken. SCT body helps as there is nothing sticking out waiting to break if it rolls etc.

DMS have the SCT for £79: http://www.dms-racing.com/index.php?...110&Itemid=533

Or this could be better still at £59 as it has metal gears & is ballraced which the ECX doesn't have (even the pinion is plastic) available in orange & blue:

Go for a Losi 22, the most solid RC car ever built and can be bought fairly cheap now, perfect learners car but as they progress just tweak the car until they are quicker than you
