jagluva Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Cheers for the links, the top one looks decent for the money have to show it the mrs and see what she says. Carisma's also look good but I think he wants something off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1uke Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm in the same boat, my 3 almost 4 year old is after my hyper , he's not happy with just steering now he want full control. I've been looking for a decent car/buggy suitable for him which is tough but not too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo_ermine Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Those Maisto junior rock crawlers are not bad. My ex's son got one for xmas from me. Only downside is the steerings very weak. Massive turning circle so you end up doing 15 point turns all the time! Quite nice tho with soft suspension travel and decent power. We were surprised what it would climb up. Nice for a rainy day indoors. Just wish it had tighter more powerful steering. Good value though.

jagluva Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah thats not a bad idea, pretty cheap for a kit to. Are they durable and take some abuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiRaGe112 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yes they are quite strong. I've built one myself, i've had it for about a year and nothing has broken yet! Just beware of the screws, they round easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
