Showing your age there Eddie, Says he who had the Rough Rider when it first came out

What sort of RC cars do you want to get them into? I would go with off road, that way they can run them on any surface rather than being limited to tarmac and will enjoy jumping them over ramps and poping wheelies.

Electric is the less hastle option just charge the batteries and go but you, sorry the kids, will soon get fed up with waiting for batteries to charge unless you buy them a couple of sets each.

Nitro allows you to run much longer but you have to carry around fuel, tarter and batery if not a pull start and the kids may have dificulty getting the fuel mixture correct. Then there is the noise issue, a 3.5cc engine screaming away at 20,000rpm on a sunday morning will not please the neighbours.

And on the subject of copters then the small ones are heavily affected by wind so you need a very still day or large indoor area. And they tend to damage more when crashed.

Sit them down to watch a coupel of episodes of RC Motors on Motors TV to see what takes their fancy.

Same chassis, nothing I don't know about them built and rebuilt around 10 of the little so and so's. take your point about the recharge, just buy and charge a few batt packs they do a quick 1 hour recharge these days, plus the sorcher is waterproof (to an extent!!)
