Getting a crawler for my 3 yr old? Scx10? New bright? Other?

[marcb527]

Looking for advice on getting a crawler for my 3yr old daughter. I was wondering should I start her off with a new bright or other walmart rc or RTR deadbolt scx10. I was wondering what everybody thought based on their personal experience. Do the new brights hold up under normal use? If I'm going to have fix it often I look at as I may well go with a deadbolt. Any Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Marc

I figure worse case I get a new one to mod as things break.

We purchased some new RTR crawlers recently (2 wraiths, an SCX 10, and a RedCat RS10 for the 2 year old).

I can tell you from first hand experience that the SCX10 is the least suitable for a young child out of those options. That is her favorite (The SCX10 C/E Jeep) but a lot of parts get replaced. Her personal is the RedCat which has held up very well with her driving and less than half the price of the others. My next choice would be a Wraith because of the more stable driving element and they seem to be a bit more durable IMO than the SCX10.

My choice, a Redcat would be a good starter...but if I did it again, I'd get the one with a single motor instead of a MOA version.

Red Cat Would be a great Idea thank you!
