Hello rcpo.....Actually if your going to lay out the $$$....you might want to consider another option. Depending on how old your son is....his driving experience.....and what you and he are expecting to get out of a Radio Shack car / truck.....there are alternatives. Some time ago....I bought a Duratrax Evader ST stadium truck and have really enjoyed it. I also had purchased a Radio Shack for one of my sons and well....it was less than rewarding for the money. Also....consider the need for batteries. I would go with the Nickle Metal Hydride Rechargeable batteries (7.2 volt)....you'll save a ton of money in the long run. Of course....you'l lalso need a battery charger to help keep those batteries in good condition. So.....if your interested in options and can afford the little extra to buy him a nice truck....then you might want to consider this:
