I would say savage.. of course...
But what you have to look at is part supply in the area...

As well, if you do get a savage, you can help out like you say..
Maybe an RC18t
fairly cheap in comparison, and built just like a 1/8th, but smaller
adn can run it inside...if enough space

My first truck has been the Savage, I never even drove a RC car before this thing. I have had this truck about 2 weeks now and have put 2 gallons of fuel through it. I havent been easy on this thing by far. Its been upside down more than on its wheels. I havent broken anything YET!

My vote would be for a Savage, and like you said you have 2 in the family now so you guys would be a great help to him when it comes time to mod it.

And just to pull your chain some more FORD rules. lol
