yea he already had a toy grade of course doesnt work very well. and i hold the controller on mine. so i can steer while he gives it the gas. and he really digs it. so i want to get him one that can run outside along with mine. just not as fast, it can be smaller. mine is a 1/10 scale. just need one that can go through grass.
If he would be willing to go with a bit smaller truck, the redcat tremor 1/16 models would work. The remote is a bit smaller than the one for the volcano (better for smaller hands) and the truck does 15mph at most. It has fast acceleration and 4wd, just not a fast stop speed.
Its under $100 RTR.
I just made a short vid bashing mine at a skate park:

Edit: the tremor is fine for packed dirt/pavement ect. It wont do well in grass tho. To low to the ground.
The Redcat twister XB (brushed) or volcano epx (brushed) are a bit over $100, but they will go threw grass.
