What age to start RC ?

My 4yr old nephew was like that. Though part of the problem I didn't anticipate was just how large the controller is for a 4yr olds hands. He still loves playing with his 16th eRevo. I bought him the brushed version, no reason for the speed of the VXL.

He's turning 5 next month so I'll see how much improvement he's made in controlling the car. He always asks me to take the car out with him. And he always wants me to bring the big truggy out. Cause its like 5x the size of his eRevo. He doesn't even want to drive the truggy, he just takes the body off and stares at all the wires, moves the truck around a bit and watches all the mechanical stuff go. Maybe its the pan chassis with all the exposed mechanicals. The exposed spinning diffs, the driveshafts. You can watch them work pretty easy compared to a revo where most everything is enclosed.

My little boy likes pushing around my truggy as well when it's off. When he first saw it moving under it's own power he was scared but now he wants to chase after it.

I wonder who makes the smallest transmitter?

Thanks for the help guys,
