My son has this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/15224...7297426&crdt=0

Its good because all the trims and adjusters are covered up. Got mine with a ready to run kit from Axiel but sure you could get them separate.

Depending on what radio you are after steering wheel or stick .Both of these are great value for money and excellent piece of kit.Comes with all you need and not over budget;

Whichever one you go for make sure its a wheel controller.
Little hands have trouble with sticks.

My son is just 9 and struggled to use a wheel transmitter. I bought him one of these and he's getting on really well with it.

I bought this over the cheaper model since it has end point adjustment to slow it down a little!

I really wouldn't bother with the cheap extronix stuff. From experience I found them to be unreliable. My son who's also 6 uses a Sanwa MX-V you get sanwa quality at a good price and the receiver is waterproof so its a winner all round

Been using sticks since I was 4. Not everyone gets on with a wheel.

No offence but wheels probably weren't around when you were 4. I dont get on with a wheel either and started with sticks.
My 6 year olds hands weren't big enough to be able to use sticks and he really struggled so I got him a wheel. He now has no problems controlling his car.
Each to there own but if I was starting again I'd use a wheel as they are more ergonomic.
