Off road remote control car for a nearly six year old

My son has loved watching other kids on the beach this summer with remote control cars that looked w designed for driving on sand etc. We usually try and keep presents fairly reasonable so I'm hoping someone has recommendations for a good one that doesn't break the bank!

My son is nearly 7. He's had several RC cars but the best he's had is this one Hot Wheels Megalodon

I'm fairly sure it's that one, it's quite big compared to the others and it charges rather than takes batteries. It lasts about 20 minutes and he's driven it on grass, dirt, sand, pebbles, through puddles, all fine. It's lasted well (been at least 2 years) and we'll definitely get another when this one finally dies.

My nephew has the Megladon. Again, he loves it. Brilliant for the park where he can really let it go full speed. And agree with the puddles; it’s perfect for it. It’s currently sat in my hallway and can confirm it’s very sturdy.

I agree with the Megalodon, we have it and my boys love it. It’s so sturdy and fast and can go on water

Sounds great thanks for the recommendation
