I am looking for an R/C car for my nephew. Yes, I would ideally walk into a shop and buy one but the only options within an hour or so drive are chain toy shops with cheap tat and a specialist r/c shop full of neckbeard shut-ins like the comic book store guy from the Simpsons. Cheapest car in the shop was 600€ and from the way they babbled on about it, looked like it used unicorn jizz as fuel.

so, I am looking for an online retailer who will post to France.
The car......battery powered, a truck/buggy. It will be used on gravel and dirt around a farm yard, so no circuit-racer/drift stuff. 4wd maybe? is that vital? Ideally robust and with spares backup if needed. Definitely want a second (and maybe third?) battery pack so he can recharge as he plays, but realise these will probably need to be bought seperately. He is only ten, but good with RC stuff.
up to £200 or so.

Cheers.

£388 just for the kit. OP says under £200. If the DEX408 was under £200 I'd have 2. (Will go with my DNX408 and DEX410V3)

Funnily enough my first suggestion was going to be one of the RTRs. The DEX210RTR is a bargain IMO.

worth every penny.

you been racing Durangos for long?

Sponsered driver?

Sponsor? - LOL, if you're offering

Nah, I barely keep away from the scenery.

I bought the DNX a while ago. Only used it locally. There isn't much love for it and those I race with favour the Losi 8. I think its a thing of beauty.

The DEX410 I haven't actually built. I bought all the main race buggies SX3, BMaxx4, B44.1 and the 410r. Its just a lovely design so I bought it. I must admit I race the B44.1 but only because I have two and I can butcher one of them for parts.
