Best brushed car for eventually upgrading to brushless?

So I want to buy my son an rc car for Christmas. He has a few cheap Walmart type rc cars that he loves, but they really don’t hold up.

Now I was looking at the new arrma quake but my wife took one look at the price/specs and axed that idea (and understandably so as my son is only 3 lol). She said “I am not giving our 3 year old an rc car that can go 50mph” lol.

Soooo, being the forward thinker that I am, what’s the best brushed rc car to buy if you eventually plan to upgrade to brushless? In the 200 or less price point.

I see that there is a quake grom that is about to be released, would that be a good option?
