Default New to Large Scale Cars - Advice Needed

Hello all! I am new to RC in it's enirety and obviously new to large scale RC cars. My son has been playing with RC cars for a couple of years now, mainly what you guys seem to call 'on road' cars. He came to me recently though and asked if I could buy him a large scale car for Christmas. I wonder if you guys could give me some pointers as to what I should be buying for a 9 year old. He's very good with normal RC cars and currently races around with a Kyosho Mini-z Buggy. How much of a difference is there when you move to large scale cars? And is there anything I should know when I am talking to a dealer, or just shopping around? Just trying to do mny homework here before I go wasting tons of money and getting taken for a ride.

Thanks in advance
Pete
