Tamiya Sand Viper 1/10 2WD Electric Buggy Kit
I used to run a school RC program. I started with one of these that my son built, and really, this is the one. I shifted to the DT-03 models (Racing fighter, longer wheelbase, but I don't think ball-bearings) and they just aren't as fun to drive. It really isn't about being a race car... this is more of a Miata. This is the current day grass hopper and is just FUN to drive for a young kid. Sure, it's a little more money. But this is the right one for a young person to build and fall in love with.
