Miura and R8 LM, rwd and 4wd chassis, electric. Used to go with my son when he was younger, great introduction to chassis and car setup (weight distribution, suspension, tires, etc...):

RC, great range of bodies to choose from. My son got a lancia delta body for the 4wd chassis as well. These are a riot if you have access to a circuit, it can be addictive (and a lot cheaper than real racing!)
