No such thing for that price. Not brand new anyway and I wouldnt go within a mile of a second hand one.

If thats the case I would buy him an electric one. If neither of you have any experience of Nitro Engines you/he may find it hard to set up.

Much better going electric.. I'm sure you'll find a ready to go brushless setup for £100.. it won't be fantastic though.

Yeah you look so cool sitting their trying to start the piece of shit for half an hour

Spend the money on a decent car with a decent engine not an issue; but spend £100 on an ready-to-run kit and you will end up with some right old crap.

Bought a nitro car three years ago thinking it would be good fun in the summer.

Didn't realise the amount of work and money that goes in to keeping the damned thing running.

Should have bought an electric, tbh.

Electric is much better for someone not too experienced, more so for a 14y/o

Electric is the way to go unless you want to spend all your time trying to get the thing running.

With a brushless system and a Lipo battery you will get long run times.

Long enough that you will get bored before it runs out anyway
