But yeah, if moneys really tight for you, and you just wanna get your son into R/C a bit, then the RTR brushed truck should work great for him. I mean, it is a Team Associated vehicle, so you know its gonna be excellent quality and the most "bang for your buck". I have seen a few young kids at my local track run the RTR brushed SC10, and have never seen them have issues with them (other then the one kid who literally never cleaned his motor and ended up ruining it). I believe when you first get a young kid into R/C, teaching them how to tear apart, maintanance, and care for their vehicle is just as important as learning how to drive
