Yeah, do like Mikuri is saying, set the fail safe. I don't remember right away, but its pretty simple.
In electric, thats like the kill switch for gas engine.
You can set it to go to neutral, or brake, and bank right or left.
When testing, have someone hold it for you or secure bench it etc.

I got the bandit with Rustler front wheels. Its an old school brushed motor, ceramic speed controller converted to brushless.
Its a different platform, I like the smoothness and plush driving of 2wd light rc buggies. It all depends, some days I want to bash and rip around in the park, others is see the rc glide, and roll easy through the track.
The Bandit has a Redcat Blackout Pro electronics; esc and motor on a 2S 4000mah, more than enough. I switch the rear after the photo to RC10 tires, and RC10 aluminum shocks.
Regardless of platform, the fail safe is pretty much the same, unless the VXL did not have it or was set correctly from factory.
If thats how the Typhon came out of the box, then its bad quality control on their part.
Good luck

I was gonna say the Mevo, (mini e-revo), but he is only 12.
Seeing you are w the ARRMA lineup, and Tower Hobbies offers payment plans... who knows? Maybe a Granite, its got big tires, can go over lots obstacles, and not that expensive.
Below is a pic of my Mevo, its a work in progress.

Are you sure you haven’t just got your FWD/REV trim set too far back on the controller?? raise the car up and check the small adjusters are all set correctly i.e. steering is straight and fwd/rev is fine-tuned so that the trigger correctly operates acceleration and deceleration (reverse)

Good choice, I think its about right for him.
If do your homework one can spot a roller every now and then on Ebay and have for parts at a good price.
The brushed version I think it is waterproof.
