I've refused every deal i've seen in the past 3-4 years because I don't want to get "sucked in" but the 4wd version of this deal is insanely good. If I were into RC i'd have bought at least 2 but I did buy one.
You can change the gear ratios in the axles just like a real truck and it's a newer concept that comes along with Crawlers/Real style trucks.
These have live solid axles vs independent suspension which add to realism and in some ways are more protected/strong but the downside is they simply won't handle as well and quite a few monster trucks have independent suspensions. This will articulate like a crawler and you can install rear steering too.
You can easily install a Brushless system and even this system is 3s capable but even the review says it's not needed as the brushed system is plenty. I have a kit or 2 laying around in the 80amp range(twice as powerful) but more speed isn't really what this is about.
It can handle up to a 8000mah 2s lipo battery which is insane for runtime(about 30 min without stopping) 5000 is safer so it wont build heat. Buy the B6 cheap charger on amazon. It can charge every battery you can imagine including your car battery for $30. I use mine to charge my boat batteries. https://www.amazon.com/Hobby-Fans...131&sr=8-2
This is the CEN B50 and CEN H-150. Here's a review. https://www.bigsquidrc.
I also think the 2wd buggy could make a decent racer at your local track with some better tires and setup but like I said i'm not trying to go down that road. 2wd is more difficult to handle but it teaches the fundamentals. If they have metal gears in the diffs(I'll check) then they would also make great speed run vehicles with a powerful 3s brushless system.
Lipos perform much better than Nimh but they are more dangerous and prone to exploding if over-discharged. If going for lipos, you would want to teach your kids not to run the battery too low, or always supervise them when they are using it
I ended up getting a 4x4 Hooligan, and picked up a spare spur gear since that was only like $3 more.

Drawing more current than the battery is rated for or over-charging, however, are associated with increased risk
Edit: just saw it is $85 on amazon last time I saw it it was over $100

Heliway K Motivator. It is a clone of the HS 18311 but with upgraded metal driveshaft and ball bearings instead of bushings. $25 + $11 shipping. You can buy them on sale other places but honestly a ridiculous price for what it is. This one is the hs 18311 but separate esc/reciever and 3 wire servo.
I would also choose m j x hyper go which go under $100 if you don't get brushless. Signficantly easier to work on (wl toys are hard to repair) and they are a lot more durable too. WL Toys are not that durable despite using a lot of metal. They are good as rollers and I do have them. As a first RC they are not good.
Every time I run the 144001 it feels like the motor/ ESC is on the verge of overheating. Not sure how it will last
I see the truck I'm looking at has a combo kit with battery and charger. You don't save any money on getting the combo over buying those items separately. Not sure if I could get anything better for less on Amazon that would work with this.

I think he would love the look of the red monster truck but I'm not sure if it's an upgrade from what he's already got. At a hundred bucks I'm not too worried about it but if this is a real waste of money for a kid who would be turning 8, then I guess I'd keep looking. Any thoughts?

This one is considerably larger, heavier, and more capable off road. I think it makes a nice upgrade.
