OMG get him a electric one...I recommend something like... This for a youngin...I think its to much for him because its nitro powered and can go over 40 MPH...On the box it says in BIG letters...NOT FOR KIDS UNDER 16 WITHOUT DIRECT ADULT SUPERVISION. But the link i gave you would be perfect for em...ebay is cheap for em...also I paid 330 for my t-maxx
