Gents, apologies if this has already been discussed, a quick search didn’t give me anything.

The small boy is six. He’s had a little cheap buggy from amazon since Christmas and likes it.

The rear suspension mount has snapped and is non-repairable.

So, time to step up.
I’d like a hornet (I’ve always wanted one and now I have an excuse), but I’ve got concerns that it’s possibly too quick and will be treated “roughly”.

I imagine the boy would prefer a monster truck type thing.

Any recommendations for something robust that a six year old can jump off kerbs and if it breaks can be repaired?

Although, it’s most the way towards a lunchbox... smile

Thanks very much. I suspect that the outlaw is exactly what he wants. I presume it’s the same running gear?

My kid got a cheap drone from his uncle.
He now only wants things that can fly.
