So 1st let me say I have always been impressed at how flite test stresses the family and community aspects of the hobby. that being said this post is asking for help from some one that knows just enough to be dangerous
So right too the nuts and bolts of this post. A very good friend of mine, has a very speacil boy in his life that is very young, yet has gone thru 2 bone marrow transplants, tons of chemo and has spent more time in the hospital in the last 2 years, then any one should have to go thru in 100 life times. long story short, another community( and forums) got together and bought him an RC truck(traxxas stamped) you can read about it here http://www.riverdavesplace.com/forums/showthread.php?125328-Sometimes-I-wonder-UPDATE-DAWSON-is-Home! the rc stuff/ community coming together starts on page 15.
I am buying a bunch of spare parts, a tool kit and a good battery charger since at last count he has about 14 batterys coming his way. It needs to handle NiCad and lipo. preferably, with auto detect. remember I know just enough to be dangerous and don't really know what brands are good and which ones to avoid. which is why I ask here.
Thanks in advanced for your help
PS, here is a short clip of him opening the truck.
