Shoping for 6y/o

Yo folks!

My Little mini me is loving the RC I got

I kinda wanna get him into the hobby

He loves his toy Thomas/Batman/Fire engine but when things break... well its game over

 

 

So he's turning 6 soon!

Looking at possibly getting him something!

 

So to note

he has a condition called PVL

he is globally delayed

 

So nothing Big, Major fast

But STRONG, and decent spares network!

 

 

So I've just gone down the HBX Pro, which is the FTX tracer copy

so it's got spares!

 

I've seen the Hyper GO

But the spares seem to less ? is it a copy of something?

Maybe too fast as they seem a lil insane on stock 3s

Also a weird battery?

 

 

there is the arrma grom? 

not gone into much, but Modelsport are a stockest of Arrma,

 

Share your wisdom on me!

Hi, I have an Mjx and it's brilliant, it's had some hard use and nothings broken yet, but all parts are available from a UK stockist. I run mine on 2s as on 3s it's a nightmare. You can get 2s shorty lipos from zeee that fits perfectly and are 2200 mah so you get plenty of running time 😄

Just checked, the UK stockist for Mjx products is Serious RC 

And modelsport carry the rebadged version (easy RC Chevrolet Colorado) so spares are easy to get

The hbx is the original and the ftx is the rebadged version,

 

The Grom range honestly isn't worth the money for what you actually get

 

The mjxs sweet spot is 2s and modelsport carry some 2s core RC 1300mah packs for about £10 each that fit with a little padding under the stock clip also there's an alloy battery holder that's adjustable for other aftermarket packs
