All,
Thanks so much for all the replies and recommendations. I appreciate the help you've given to this newbie. I've taken it all into consideration and have decided to go with the Traxxas Slash 4x4. Tower Hobbies had it for a decent price ($412.99) with a $50 coupon (brought it to $362.99). Bought a new Traxxas 7.4v 4200 mAh 2 cell 25C Lipo battery off eBay for $35 so I was able to keep it right within budget. Now I'm wondering if I should have bought two because I think my son will have a hard time wresting the remote from my hands.
Thanks again and I'm looking forward to staying a part of this fun hobby!
Dave
Did you buy the traxxas slash yet? If not, I have a really good coupon, will save you $100 off a $400-499 order from towerhobbies
