Looking for a "cheap" mini R/C for 2.5 yr old.

So, XMAS is coming and my girl really likes my R/C's, (Wraith, R1, SC10RS), and I wanted to get her an inexpensive crawler to play with that is all hers.
Looking for something that is durable, she doesn't have a the hand/eye coordination to control the throttle yet and steer properly. But I want her to learn on something that will not fall apart when it hits a wall.
Any/All suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance.
ORA.

I have a maisto. $40. It was fun to drive around the house. Its pretty slow so it won't get damaged. When I took it in the dirt and rocks the steering started to not work. It never turned very well, but my 2yo only goes straight and reverse so she can still play with it. When it stopped steering we drove it down a real steep 20' cliff to try and break it, but it held up for 4 runs until we got tired of doing it. We drove it down the left side slope.

could get her a losi mini. or a losi micro trail trekker. or just get a cheap old ax10. those ought to work

I bought 2 rock crawlers for my 3 & 4 year old grandsons at Walmart for $29.99 each and have really good battery life considering they are MOA's.
Not sure of the brand (Maisto ?) but they are the only 'Rock Crawler" they sale.

Thanks for the responses.
I was looking at the mini's and the maisto's. I think the losi's are a little more than what I want to spend right now for her to learn on. Maybe if she stays interested in a couple years I could see upgrading her to one of those.

I was also looking at the New Bright 1/14, 1/15/ 1/18 scale trucks/jeeps/etc and walking around Target I found one on sale for $20. Harley Edition F-150 with complete battery set-up. I think she will like this just fine and have fun chasing the dog around the house with it. If she decides to stick with R/C's then we can upgrade her to something more capable.
