RE: Good beginner Nitro RC car/truck
well he can upgrade to the brushless motor. . . but id just recomend that he get a diffrent truck i bought one for my 11yr old nephew and after a week or so it was allready to slow for him so we upgraded it and that was good for him for about a month so i then got rid of that and got him a HPI savage x with a axil 32 on it and set it up like the 5 savages i have for myself. . . over the years i have beat mine down and they just keep on going so i just keep upgrading parts now i have one that i built extended TVP's, a peak 32 with NOS and the name really fits it now. it is a SAVAGE MONSTER first rc ive seen that can smoke the tires just by stabbing the throttle. . . so my recomendation is get rid of the stampede and get a HPI SAVAGE X
