RC with kids: how old to start them?

Either way regarding a good starting RC i think C.Avante is perfect for 6-7 year old that had  some practice.

 

That's a good tip. Is it also easy to build?

For example the T3-01 trike is a wonderful kid's rc because it's small and cute and self-righting, but some of the drive train and suspension and steering is a bit fiddly to build (from the perspective of a young kid).

I started mine on a SU-01 when she was around 4, but that kit is hard to find.

She is now 6 and will be getting a GH2 for this Christmas.

Nice! If you search "Tamiya 57402", PJ has a kit in stock right now but with no ESC/Receiver unit.

That's where I got mine from as in my build thread. Postage will push the price up to around Grasshopper or Rising Fighter level thought. Still, it is a nice, simple first build for a young kid.

I let my younger boys do the steering while I do the throttle..(they are 4 now)

My older boys were driving cars before they could walk. My eldest was driving the DT.02 on brushless and lipo while he was still in his pushchair. Lol. 

By the time he was 6, he was better at driving than me.

 

And this is on sticks with his little hands. Lol. Champ. I'm telling ya.
