well it would be a 1st timeRC. Something fast(40mph) range. It would be driven by 9 and 10 yr old boys.
Mostly a yard machine. Long driveway. A stripmine in our area
Was even thinkin the Slash type of vehicle
Brushless,Lipo
Just a decent all around 1st timer type of reliable RC. Something to tinker with and upgrade. Give the boys and I something to do together..
Well i think you may have listed the best vehicle in your own comment.
The slash would probably be perfect. It is very durable, not a ton of money, can easily be upgraded to be VERY fast but able to run stock until you could upgrade it.
I would definitely suggest the slash for what you said you would like.
