Nitro Truggy. Big Block. 30% fuel... :-)

Hah - just kidding. Try the Traxxas Slash. Generally, a commodity truck that most will enjoy. Price is right and it's good to know it'll take the abuse. If he realy enjoys it, race tracks have a Slash class just about everywhere. Once he learns to take care of it, you can look at other vehicles. But Slash/Strike type trucks are out there for a reason; durable, lower-cost and fun.

Get him a Slash.
He will enjoy it and it's not expensive.

If he really gets into it, then move into something better.

Stampede may be fun but with the Slash he can participate in a race.

I say get another stampede. They go anywhere and handle pretty good, plus what kid doesn't like monster trucks. I race mine often at my local track. Plus they take one hell of a beating.

Or a slash that would work pretty good too.
