If you read his post he says he wants a Kit so his kids can put them together and yeah I know it's a comp kit Dude but it's also a KIT in which he wants, and yeah it might cost a little but you know what you get what you pay for in this hobby also. If his kids want to go racing in the future they will have one of the best if not the best St's out on the market. And they will be able to fly with those things (driver skill will be needed though) and there both 4wd that you posted links to. If they want to race they might not be able to race with those 4wd trucks at there local track (if they do want to race in the future).
