This is a good, flexible, intermediate level truck. Fast enough to keep older kids and adults entertained, but can be turned down for young or inexperienced users. The transmitter has a switch to limit power to 50% / 75% / 100%. Newbies can start on a 2S battery at 50% and eventually work up to 100% on a 3S battery. Unlike some of the cheaper Amazon trucks, parts to repair it will be readily available. This would be a good way to get started in RC and eventually upgrade to a 6S vehicle when you're ready.
I'm just saying this for perspective. A 3S truck isn't like a toy for beginners or something you'd find at Walmart. This is a serious hobby-grade vehicle. The majority of people will not feel any need to even upgrade from 3S in my opinion. You have to be really into the hobby to go beyond that.

RC is the same thing.
I appreciate the sentiment but I have the prime CC which gives me an additional 5% off at Amazon. This is SlickDeals after all.
So yeah, unfortunately people like that bring stigma to being a grown adult and be into rc cars. So to contribute my own experience in this..... I did buy a childhood rc car for nostalgia.... quickly lost interest and felt pointless. It didn't have the same entertainment or enjoyment value it once had when I was a kid. My own kid played with it for the first time..... and on that first time wrecked it trying to jump it off a transition of dirt to asphalt street that looked like a ramp, but that day decided it was going to be a wall. Was supposed to buy parts and fix that rc car, never did.
The HBX 2997A was my favorite RC before purchasing the Big Rock. I think its great entry level vehicle. It can be purchased for less than $200.

I just purchased this for my 5 yr old but he has had an opportunity to practice on cheaper vehicles. You can throttle these down on the remote to make it safer for inexperience users. You can also use 2s batteries and work up to 3s. I would recommend the DEERC 210E as an entry level 3s car if you are looking for a starter and don't want to spend over $200.
Yes you can, they just won't perform as well as li-po.
This is worth the money, no denying it. But if you are new and not sure about a $250 leap, a $100 hbx can be worth the money too.
I needed something repairable for my 7yo son who kept burning up the $50 Amazon rc cars with plastic gears. Hbx made sense. If he stays interested, I'd love to move him up to this after a year.
"Worth" is subjective.
They also have the Losi Mini T 2.0 brush on sale for $100. That would be a great starter car. Just limited to street and dirt. Can't take grass, to small.
Now is a great time to jump in. The leaps in advancement for brushless motors and lithium batteries makes electric RC amazing!
I kind of got bored but it led me into flying FPV drones. I'm planning on fixing my surface RC stuff and using them again. I didnt use them at all last year.

Monster trucks are great all-around RC vehicles because you can use them almost anywhere and they are very good at taking abuse.
