It depends just how hard that remote car hit your ankle…I am sure you can tell by looking at it and how large a contusion you have. At this point I would soak it in some warm/hot water 2x a day,UNLESS it is swollen.
If it is swollen, put ice packs on and off for 20 minutes intervals 2x a day.Feel better and good luck on Sunday. ***** If it really is troublesome, of course, see your DOCTOR.

You can. You should only drive on streets with little to no traffic. If you cause an accident, you may be held liable. If some one runs over your car, your out of luck. You still need to obey local noise laws. I used to run my nitro buggy up and down the street all the time. If a neighbor got upset, I would ask when would be a good time to run my car so that it would not bother them. Most the time, my neighbors didn't mind.

Start with an electric. Any Traxxas electric will work for a beginner. May I suggest the Stampede or Rustler because of how strong they are. They can be driven on or offroad. So its the best of both worlds. Some links to the rc cars:

Sorry, but a "good" gas R/C airplane is going to cost $400-800, with controller. The controller is one of the most expensive purchases you'll make. You can buy $100 cheapie R/C planes with 2-axis controls for learning. But really good ones will cost you, you won't find a multi-controller for cheap. $400 will be about what you can expect to pay for a high quality controller.

I do not know about hobby shops in the Philippines, but almost all manufactures ship world wide. I do know that the rc hobby is very popular their, because I see results from many races held their each year. There are many entry level nitro powered rc vehicles that are very reasonably priced. Duratrax has two or three great entry level nitro trucks.

if it is old, the piston may have more wear and just using more gas, you may try a micrometer and check the piston and cylinder and compare them to the specs of a new engine

I found you a car…click on the links

I changed my mind down below…be a cool parent but remember only if you can afford to do so with this hobby…

In my opinion I would wait till he is older and you should buy a new car…these cars are a very expensive hobby…so if you want to keep your hobby in running condition I would try to find a local store so when you need parts for the car you can pick them up…

Don't get me wrong I think every kidd deserves a car like this and if you can afford the hobby, I say go for it!!!

don't forget you need to also buy a remote control, batteries, and battery charger for the car…

you use rc fuel.. its sold at any hobby store. its about $15-20 a gallon, but the car uses so little that they only sell it by ounces.
the distance it can be controlled from has to do with the power of the transmitter and receiver in the car and controller. You can buy controllers that will work well over 1/2 mile. being $180, its on the lower end, so i would say about 1/8th of a mile.
i dont have one, but my neighbor has one that will hit 75mph, but you need a license for it… thats all i know.. i dont know who authorizes the license, but i know its by how fast it goes.

in the UK motorized RC vehicles [battery] are allowed
to be used with caution and not on the road

but nitro fueled RC vehicles can be used without a permit
but only on private grounds/property and with owner of the land permission ,which is fair enough because some nitro fuelled RC vehicles go extremely fast,and would cause a nasty injury if it hit somebodys foot/leg on the main street,if that helps at all?

ps:and of course there is the high level of
noise pollution to be taken into
consideration too,so all in all !
and i have never been to sunny california in my life,i will stick my neck out and say no you cannot use a gas/nitro rc vehicle on pavements and streets purely because it
makes sense not to
