Petrol control car/buggy

I'm wanting to get one soon for my two boys as they enjoy there battery operated ones and my oldest wanting his 1st petrol car, not sure what to buy, want something that doesn't brake easy and also not stupid fast as he only 7, what have use had or have that's good?  

Mick T had a Marda buggy, was an animal and awesome fun. Bit too much for a 7 year old I recon though,

I've watched a few vids on youtube and some of them are really fast   i want something not to expensive because i think there will be breakages lol

Had a few in my time. Marder buggy was a money pit but feck me it was fas had a 30cc motor on in. A would look at 1 of these as they are very popular and not mega expensive.

I would probably give it a miss until he is older, they can be quite delicate and temperamental at times! So unless you are like me and enjoy sitting at the table with a little tool kit cleaning and repairing  all the fiddly bits, which in my experience is around (3 hrs repairing for 1 hrs running) lol..., then i would defo wait until he is older.

Yeah I see your point about how fragile they can be, think I might just get a better battery 1,  

You can get some rapid battery ones these days, just make sure you get an extra battery or two. 

Haha, that's what made me think petrol as batteries don't last long, thanks for advice thou   

My bro Gav got fc buggy cost him over 2k to build running nos and got proper disk brakes and real alloys and custom air spray shell mint petrol car
