Default Repair Question

A 14 year old kid at our track bought a Lynx 3D about 6 months ago. He saved for almost a year to buy the radio and was still a little short, so a couple of us "pitched in" the rest of the money so this kid could get a decent radio. He's a good kid, very interested in RC, but from a VERY poor family. A few of us have chipped in different things (tires, batts, etc) to get & keep him going. Anyway, today someone knocked the radio off his pit table while he wasn't around (no witnesses either). It broke the case around the steering wheel, and did something to the steering mechanism. The wheel will not return to center, and will not transmit to the car to turn right.

I know you can't tell me exactly what's wrong with it, or the cost of repair, but can you tell me if it's even worth sending in to look at. Myself and another guy will probably foot the repair bill because there is no way the kid can (and he's crushed about his radio), and we don't know if it's worth repairing or trying to find another, cheap radio for him.

Thanks guys!!!!!
