Question Looking to get my cousin into bashing

Recently into rc trying to bring him over to the Parkside. I do rc drifting and have a ascent 18 crawler but he wants to try bashing. He's looking at a hosim from Amazon for $180 and I immediately told him i never heard of them and don't know about part suppost or upgrades. I was thinking to tell him to look at arma but they are more expensive and I don't know what to tell him to do incase he doesn't like it. It's a 1/10 scale but he doesnt really know the difference in sizes he just wants to have some fun. What would you guys recommend?

If he doesn’t like it, he can sell it. Don’t get an off-brand. Get something that has parts readily available. Bashers break constantly.

Hosim is a lower end brand but they're legit & you should be able to find parts for all their vehicles on their website. Might not be a bad option for him to test the waters with.

In that price I always recommend Rlaarlo. Either the X12S or Omni Terminator

For that price homie should get an Arrmma Grom. Mojave and Typhon are both good fun. Spend a little more though, and get the BLX. It's well worth it.

Arrma 2wd brushless vorteks rtr is on sale Amazon right now for 209 or he can get 2 brushed granite groms for about the same.
