Recommendations for an 8 yr. old
My grandson is wanting an RC truck or buggy for Christmas and, after spending a lot of time on-line looking at all the choices, I find that I can really use some recommendations from those who enjoy this sport. Please keep in mind that I have a maximum budget of $100.00. I know this is at the lowest entry point for hobby level RC, but I can't spend more - sorry. I'm looking for the most bang for the buck and as much quality as one can expect at this price point. Replaceable and repairable are good points.
Suggestions?

$100 isn't that much, but it can get you a decent starter vehicle. This truck seems like a nice choice, but if he isn't totally set on having a truck, this car is a 1/10 scale car (unlike the smaller 1/18 scale truck) and looks pretty good to start out on. I don't normally recommend these to people, but given the circumstances, this seems like the best choice.

Thanks for you help. After many hours of searching and comparing prices and availability, I settled on this Domida 1/18th DB4 from Tower Hobbies. They had the best price w/discount and free shipping:
