yes definitely, our son just turned 7 and absolutely loves it. it is an impressive remote control vehicle. just make sure you get the wheelie bar with it because it keeps it from rolling over

well if you get it its got a brushed motor and its not really that fast. i would think it would be good for a 10yr old as long as you don't go brushless. if you get a brushless truck i am not sure a 10 yr old can control it. i got this truck and wanted to make it faster and put a brushless and it probally goes up to 55 or more mph. i would say to get it for your 10yr old but leave the motor it comes with. i am pretty sure it will be easy for him or her to control. i would just make sure you supervise them at first til they learn how it goes and they should not have a problem. if you wanna look more into the truck go on youtube and look it up and then you get a idea. i hope that helps you a bit. well if you get it its got a brushed motor and its not really that fast. i would think it would be good for a 10yr old as long as you don't go brushless. if you get a brushless truck i am not sure a 10 yr old can control it. i got this truck and wanted to make it faster and put a brushless and it probally goes up to 55 or more mph. i would say to get it for your 10yr old but leave the motor it comes with. i am pretty sure it will be easy for him or her to control. i would just make sure you supervise them at first til they learn how it goes and they should not have a problem. if you wanna... » Read More well if you get it its got a brushed motor and its not really that fast. i would think it would be good for a 10yr old as long as you don't go brushless. if you get a brushless truck i am not sure a 10 yr old can control it. i got this truck and wanted to make it faster and put a brushless and it probally goes up to 55 or more mph. i would say to get it for your 10yr old but leave the motor it comes with. i am pretty sure it will be easy for him or her to control. i would just make sure you supervise them at first til they learn how it goes and they should not have a problem. if you wanna look more into the truck go on youtube and look it up and then you get a idea. i hope that helps you a bit. « Show Less

Absolutely! My son is 8 and he loves his. My husband and son both ply with theirs. So yes a 10 year old should have a great time. And these are a great teaching tool as well. They teach about electronics on a small scale but its all things that are applicable on a full scale automobile as well.

I think so I bought this for my sons 4th birthday and he loves it he always wants to play with yes it is a little to fast for him but it is awesome I play with it with him

Yes, with adult assistance. These are not toys and they require a lot of maintenance and careful monitoring to ensure the motor doesn't overheat. A 10 year old can operate the car and will have a blast with it. It's best if an adult is there to teach the child how to care for it.

I gave it to my son for his seventh birthday and he is in love with it. It jumps well, battery last about 20 minutes of hard use and is overall well built. It's pretty fast, about 30 mph wide open. When my son is around ten I will upgrade him to nitro but at seven and his first truck I thought electric would be easier to start with. I bought two spare battery's and chargers so the fun never stops but with that much use the motor gets very hot. Brushless upgrade soon I think. Two wheel drive works great but sometimes 4x4 would be nice but for the money you can't beat this truck.

Yes it would be appropriate for children. It is like walking thru a park and you even have a track to walk around.

yes, it was for my 10 year old son and it works well. may not work well for larger adults.

For a 10 year old, I think the regular would work. It is more a question of good eyesight and small fingers and who the playmates will be.

Yes it its, it is pretty small and im a bit to strong to pull the plunger to make it fire. So a 10yo would be ok with this.

While I am sure it would easily carry a 9/10 year old, I don't think they would enjoy it much. My 4 year old grandson loves it and it moves plenty fast for him, I don't think it would do the same for a 9/10 year old.

I don't think so. But, if they were to get the hang of it they may enjoy it longer than a ten year old.

I would not recommend it. I found that it much longer than I had expected. A 10 year old will get frustrated.

yes this would be great for a 10 year old. It has so many options for creativity. My granddaughter loves it and she is 8. I like it because it's easy to use for a younger child but it has the potential to be interesting for her when she is older.

I bought one for my 10 yr old and she likes it. It might be pretty hard for a 5 yr old but I would get it. It will be a fun challenge.

Absolutely. I bought this for my 10 year old nephew, and he really loves it.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

We have not given it to our ten year old yet. I am hoping it is the right age for her.

I purchased this for my 10 year old Grandson, it would also be appropriate for a younger child. Remember it takes finger strength for the strings and fretts and it can be a long reach with small hands.

It would be great for a 10 year old! Kids absolutely love this claw machine. It's just like playing an actually claw machine, just for a smaller cost and it's a smaller size.

Hi Blind Dad, This truck is certainly fine for a 10-year-old, But I think the question you're really asking Is "Is it appropriate for my 10 year old to be playing with toy trucks?". Just the fact that you asked indicates your probably not sure, and you may want to encourage him with something more his age level. Most boys that age are riding bikes and playing with their friends. But in the end there's nothing wrong with him playing with a toy truck (I have to admit I enjoy playing with my 4yo too :) Lol

Our son got his for his 10th birthday and he loves it. He said that an 8-year-old might just need a little explanation of the controls that are on it, but otherwise it would be fine. There are 50 different drum kits (drum sounds) programmed into this unit, so there's lots for them to experiment with. There are also demos that it will play for you in addition to those 50 sets.
