        HZM, sorry to borrow your thread.

        Me not into cars but is eyeing on the below 2, they are Tamiya 1/10 Xpert Build Electric Series.

        Anyone got any comments?

        1) RC RTR Hornet-2WD or RC RTR The Grasshopper-2WD
        2) RC RTR Midnight Pumpkin - Metallic Special-2WD

        Thanks in advance....

            Yes, go for the Mini-LST . You will definitely get the most out of it. It has the following qualities;

            1) It has tones of HOP-UPs for it. So you can spend alot of quality time moding together with you son.

            2) It has 2 motors, with good D/R trimming. You can get it to go very fast or moderate to suit your son.

            3) Very tough, so it will not break easily.

            Good choice. Lucky boy he is. Hmmm you interested in getting a 30years GOD Son hee hee

              Mini Inferno if he wants speed and Mini Zilla or Mini LST if he's more into bashing.
              For some people it's important to show what they have, for others it's sufficient to know that they have it.

                  I'd say go for the Mini Inferno. $200 NIB is a grab it price. 2nd hand is abt $150.

                          Let me share my real experience....

                          Once I bought a heli for my son as Christmas present. As I get older, I forgot the detials and one day I told him off like that "Don't touch my heli "

                          Often children are sub concious way to get around our domestic fiancial controller. Not sure about you Mike....but don't forget the details like me...

                          Cause my teen son, he remembers every single detail.

                          "Have a HappY Children's day with you kid...Great Daddy"
