What sort of area / terrain do you plan on driving in? Pavement or dirt? The Rally car would be great on the street. Doesn't look like you can raise the suspension much, if any, for off-roading. The buggy would be better off-road. But for dang sure, you'd best put a good front bumper on it. You got those shocks and shock towers just sitting right up and out there waiting for damage. That Kyosho looks cool, but is only 2wd. Have you looked at "Truggies"? Like a buggy but with a lexan body covering everything, including the shocks and towers.

#1 Want a durable truck? beginners tend to break stuff (trees happen)
#2 Want RTR? beginners tend to like these
#3 Want plenty of parts support? see #1
#4 Want 2wd of 4x4? 2wd is easier for a beginner and it will make you a better driver (I actually prefer 2wd to 4x4) but 4x4 trucks can go where 2wd can't
#5 What terrain does your RC need to handle? see #4
#6 What size? Unless space is a factor, I suggest getting a 1/10 scale. 1/16 is usually too small.
A Traxxas Rustler may be right for you.

Unless it's just to "test the waters" and see if he sticks with the hobby, I prefer to have ready parts support at my LHS, or at least an online retailer I can get parts in a couple days instead of weeks.
