Traxxas Mini's and such, ?'s on so forth

[TexasSP]

Never much paid attention to these things until recently.

Been looking for something fun to tool around on the street at the house with my son (he's almost 6) and also something for the yard.

I was thinking of picking up two each of the merv's and mustang/rally cars.

Anyone got any feedback experience?

They seem relatively cheap for what all you get compared to other mini's out there.

I checked them out at the hobby shop the other day and liked the feel and design. I just refuse to pay the hobby shop their asking prices.
