I would look into a brand with a little better reputation for your first nitro. Also check with your local hobby store to find what parts they stock. It will be hard to keep a nitro in top shape if you have to order every part.

Well for first RC car i would go with XTM any kinda of XTM i mean its not the best but its cheap and easier to fix...if you want a good reliable rc car get Hpi more expensive but not soo expensive..i personally have both a on road Hpi and an Off Road Hpi..THEY ARE GREAT!!! For offroad get Savage X hpi those things hauls ass and are tough need any more info let me know lol

HPI all the way for me, I recently purchased a firestorm and I've put over 4 Litres through it with no broken parts at all! I also have a HPI RS4 that I have had very little problems with (only the one caused by me LOL) and I also hear and read that you cannot beat a HPI savage for durability which is going to be my next purchase.
Welcome to you and your son to this great hobby.

You might also want to look into Traxxas. Most hobby shops carry parts for them. They're not real expensive and they have tons of aftermarket support.
