Holy wow. You do know that kid will grow like a weed and that 20" Trek @400 will seem cheap right? You fucking dentists....damn.
Sorry bad drift trying to hook up a mag. Apparently I'm "bike dumb".

I would not get either of those, both are not real RC cars. You can spend a little more and get something actually fixable(THEY ALL BREAK) and something that is actually nice.
This is one of the best known sub 100 dollar RC cars that is actually nice.

Trust me the extra money spent now is worth it in the headaches down the line. THe WL toys is a clone of a much nicer LC racing buggy and some part are interchangeable. Just keep it stock and order an extra motor or two since brushed motors are wear items. I also some mini bashers Id would be willing to sell but you would need to buy a charger, they are worth more than the WL toys but are much NICER.

The wl looks like a good option. I think it will mostly get used in the yard and local park not every weekend hiking like some on this thread. I don’t want anything fast because he will just crash it.
I was thinking of starting cheap and going nice if he really gets into it because I would rather get him into MTB with me.
Might poke around used too if there are good places to look.

The WL toys is Medium fast. but is pretty strong and the parts that break(A arms) are pretty cheap and available in the US. I own the LC/Tacon trophy truck version and while its the real deal and not a clone, its my best smaller than 1/10 the scale I own.

I think for first rc cars, something they can play with when they want, and teach them basic driving skills without repeatedly crashing and breaking is key. Both of my kids started with one of these... Great bang for the buck. Just get rechargeable batteries as they will leave it on.

HA! That's the first one we bought too. It sucks through the batteries, so def get a couple sets of rechargeables. It was a great rig for us, the daughter still plays with it occasionally. It might seem a bit "juvenile" but it might give you an idea if they're ready for something different. It's definitely more of a rock crawler as it's slow as fuck. The kids had a great time crawling over Duplo's in the living room and the rocks surrounding the planters in the yard. Pick up a package of body clips too. The midgets always seem to lose that when they're taking the top on and off.

Ive recently come into the possession of a bunch of radio controlled airplanes / kits / trainers and i don’t want them. In my quick research it appears they may be worth something, to someone, but I’m not too sure. Anyone have any experience / knowledge of this stuff that could give me a quick run down on if they have value or not? Main items i think MAY have value; Century Predator Gasser NIB; 2 gliders w/ electronics; Carl Goldberg “the protege” NIB; Great Planes Extra 300 Aerobatic teams with E flite 60 engine. If someone has some info please feel free to DM or post here.
