Radio controlled cars.

[tommer9]

Anybody on here into R/C models, esp cars? My boy wants one for his birthday, but I am just getting confused by what is out there. Looking for something that goes fast and goes anywhere. a mate of mine used to have a nitro thing that was indestructible, but looking online just confuses me, and I will have to buy online as there dont seem to be suppliers in cornwall!

hmmmm maybe you need to let your boy start off with the landrover tommer !!!

Any of the Tamiya stuff is a good place to start, either in kit for or pre-built 'QD' [Quickdrive] format. A long time ago an old girlfriend bought me a 4x4 car chassis with a Mitsi Evo top on it, great fun to build and a chuckle to play with. Pretty well indestructable and fairly inexpensive so far as 'proper' RC cars go.... Still works now 10 [er.. plus!] years on....!
