Just getting in2 this. already got a losi buggy 4 outdoor I love it. Wondering what the best losi would b 4 a begginer during indoor. Thinkn sum sort of a stadium truck.
O And the strike will just b a givin. Gotta have something good for the 5 year old to learn on right? ;)
If it is for a 5 year old to learn on would be best to get the desert truck and upgrade as getting better. Speed-T would be to much power and won't be able to control

A Mini-T would be great for a 5 year old to get the basics of RC down. Also the Mini Desert Truck is very good too. It has a longer chassis than the Mini-T so it is a bit more stable to drive.

My 3.5 year old daughter plays with a Mini-T and older MF2 I had laying around. I bought her a body for each and let her sticker them up and let her choose the colors she wanted. I have the radio setup for her with the the EPA setup way down for the speed levels which I felt like she can control. She hits everything but both kits are are still ticking just fine.

I recently bought a Micro Desert truck and love it
Now I'm going to buy a 1/18 scale Desert truck so my 7 year old son can play as well. I did the same thing and ordered a new clear body and we are going to paint it up how he wants it or may paint it just like dads = )
Will be ordering this weekend
cant wait to play with something bigger outside
On a side note....... Neighbor who got me into this hobby is going to be building a outside track in his backyard. Were going to start this weekend. Pix comming soon
