You can bet that he will break it! Make sure you can get spares.....

You can never go far wrong with anything from Tamia, or if dad wants a toy go for the methanol engine powered Mardave Maurauder ! If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

I can highly recommend Traxxas, they are high quality, and you can customise / tinker to no end. probably on the expensive end, but well worth it!

I don't know anything about rc cars so probably not the best persons post to read, but I saw a rc defender in Maplins which looked quite cool and there are some you tube vids (some links on here somewhere) of really smart looking mini sized rc defenders, might be a bit specialised for a 6 yr old but daddy can have one as well can't he? Now there's a space in the garage.

Thanks for the tips. Something like this might be OK and it's cheaper at £75

Bear in mind that you'll need to buy the RC gear, batteries and charger, too. The bottom of that page shows a combined price of just over £150. Darren

Make sure it's been rustproofed - some of the pain may have been applied over bare plastic. Do a search on here for threads on how to rustproof properly and good luck  John

Being the father of four children (who have all been 6 years old at some point
 ) in a 'bah humbug' sort of way, I'd be inclined to get something a lot cheaper because he'll either break it or get bored with it at that age .... |
