I've been into R/C since the mid 90's, got my first Nitro 4x4 in like 1997 I think. Had that for many years, then it finally siezed up, then I got into muscle cars... then a few years later back into R/C.

I picked up this lil gem last week, to try and get my son into R/C. It's a Traxxas Slash 2wd electric. I must say it's pretty fast and very durable. I watched a few bashing vids before I purchased to make sure it can handle abuse! LOL -- it goes a lil more than 30mph

Get the 4x4 and then you will see the dif ,get the platinum edition and lipo,and after hit me up and tell me you don't like'it.
 
And let me get this straight is yours or belongs to the poor kid what is saying ''I hope he gets borred before the batteries dies again like last time.''
 
heh, i was into RC cars in the late 80's. these days i try not running over them in my neighborhood, lol.
 
I use to be into RC cars until I was 14-15.

Since then I haven't had time to dedicate any time towards it.

I even remember when I was like 8 I use to play around with Mini 4WD from Tamiya, damn, so much money spent!

LMAO! that made me laugh. I set the ESC to "training mode" (50% throttle only allowed) and he is getting the hang of it... really doesnt have the coordination down with the pistol remote. He has a few smaller RC cars that he practices with, I mean he is only 4 years old lol.
 
Hey I did not point any fingers ,just say from my experience what is actual happening when we decide to get a new fast toy for ''our'' son to play with, been there is no shame in this, just get him another from cl les powerfull and let him shred to bits and then he will thank you, then take his launch money and go to a hobby store and buy the parts he broke and he will learn to respect the value of the pistol remote more. Just a joke, i hope I did not gave you any bad ideas, on a serios note get gim a les powerfull but similar size car and both can enjoy plus the bond increase been two of you, presumably your wife won't join in, and you will learn soon enough he will like more and more this hobby and in couple months you will be posting helicopters and then aeroplanes, you just opened the Pandora box ,beware.
 
I used to be into RC! I had a Traxxas Rustler (electric) before I upgraded to the Rustler Nitro 2.5. Always a lot of fun until I smashed the damn thing into a car and had to replace all the parts.

Good fun, but I ended up having to sell all my stuff. Maybe one day I'll get back into it
