I am looking for an RC truck or buggy for my son who is 7. I don't think he
is ready for a TMaxx or Even an Emaxx so, what would you recommend? I
thought about the Bandit kit but, I just want to get something cheap and
durable that he can learn on. I started to just go the nikko/toysrus route
but they seem pretty cheap. Recommendations? anyone have a used RTR setup
for a good price?

Traxxas Electric Stampede, is pretty tough, plenty fast for a newbie, and a
heck of a lot of fun for kids or adults!!!

I have gotten more run-time out of my Associated T3 than I thought
possible......it begs for abuse.....plenty of aftermarket goodies
available........Tell your son if he takes care of this he can upgrade to
nitro soon........I think there is no better hobby for a kid than RC
trucks...........
