a micro t or maverick strada/ftx vantage etc would be much better for a 6 year old ,this is toy grade tat not real rc ,if your going to get into rc get something half descent and then you wont get put off ,so many people get put off rc because of the tat being sold by people like argos ,they will break them christmas morning and wait 6 months for spares,thats if you can get any .....pure tat not worthy of msuk
