Default 1-877-KARS for Kids...K-A-R-S Kars for Kids

Now that I've implanted that horrendous jingle in your brains, can anyone point me towards a good car for a 3YO? Just something simple she can control while daddy plays with big toys.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

redcat sumo aint too bad takes 4AA's

Or if you want to spend cash, or need something that can go through grass get a tamiya truck or buggy kit(there are a few under $130 like the DF-02(4wd), or the 2wds like the midnight pumpkin), and throw a 35t motor in it so it goes slow. Hell paint it pink and throw barbie stickers on it.

That's a good idea. Get something durable and close to 1/10 scale(like a Tamiya lunchbox or BF xtreme) and toss a crawler motor in it to slow it down. Then when she gets older(if she still likes RCs) just get a faster motor. It's cheaper in the long run.

It also depends on the type of terrain that'll be driven on. I know my yard is relatively short, but thick grass. It's hard on minis and buggies.

yea I actually rebuilt my brama 10b to stock for when my little nephew comes over. That sucker on a stock 35t motor I could walk faster then so no worries about it being a run away. Woulda suggested the brama but IMO a DF-02 costs way less, has way more parts support(brama's is almost 0 even from HPI), and is a better overall RC.

My girlfriend's grandson, 4 y/o, does OK with my SC10 in an open field.
