I am not completely new to the RC hobby as I would help my brother build, paint, repair, etc when I was younger. But now I couldn't even tell you the difference between brushless and brushed.

My son is 11 and, in my opinion, spends far too much time in front of screens. He has had cheap RC cars before that he enjoyed until he promptly wrecked or we just stopped investing in disposable batteries. I know it's a low bar, but I would like to get him started with $150-200 total, as a Christmas present. As far as which car to pick, I would like one that he can enjoy "out of the box" with only minor assistance from me, but that he could potentially build and upgrade if he enjoys the hobby. I'm thinking to start I would need the car, and extra battery pack or two, charger, and maybe a starter toolkit? Correct me if I'm wrong... Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi USMarine0231 check out these links to Associated 1/28 scale rc car these are a blast and they are ARR and I think they included one battery and charger. https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGMAL&P=0, They have several versions of this car and its alot of fun to play around the yard with
