First RC car for a 5 year old

Recommended Posts

When my little man was three or so, I bought him a toy grade rock crawler. 

Slow, easy to handle, simple, tough and fun to climb over obstacles.

A year later, he got an Associated RC28, which he named "Donut". That Donut has survived my son's constant abuse is a testament to something.

Now he is six and drives the Kyosho and Tamiya buggies that I have built, and has picked up basic drone flying. Admittedly, he has a lot more natural situational awareness than I do. He always wants to help with repairs, and he imagines himself a little expert on the relative merits of Kyosho versus Tamiya, gearing and motor turns, not to mention helicopter esoterica.

For Christmas, he got a Sand Dragon, for many of the same reasons he got his original crawler. He named it "Cricket".
