Ecx circuit 4wd is what is started my son on and he was 5, it took a pounding so good I bought a second for any of his friends that came over would have one. Upgrading to the 35$ savox waterproof servo made a huge improvement, then I got bored and put a vxl-3s system in his and he was all sorts of happy.

May be a bit different to work on but they have been freaking tanks for us. He's now running a sct410.2, mbx6e, mbx6te, yeti, and a yeti xl. Oh yeah a latrax rally & Teton. My list is worse, I couldn't decide....

The Ecx was the best to start with, ours were the brushed versions. For a small kid it is plenty fast enough, and if you want to watch his eyes light up and see a grin from ear to ear put in a 2s lipo.... Not a ton faster, but for my son he called it the go baby go batteries.
