I've suggested that a car is a good place to start, but have no idea what I am doing.
You can get ready to run stuff easily. Have a look at the selection on Modelsport
Are they all balls fast? We have a couple of shitty cheap ones, but they suck. I had a mini hopper when I was a nipper, but that is the extent of my experience
They can be balls fast. There are some RTR products that are designed to be really fast. The problem is the quicker they go the more damage you do when you crash them...

Looks like loads of new manufacturers available.
We have a couple of Nikko tanks / trucks which are not too tame and hard waring.
I think into the teens Tamiya prolly more approriate.

Age dependant, but building is great fun.
RE speed, stock Tamiya 540 brushed motors are not considered fast, but certainly are not slow, especially for a kid.
Most controllers (transmitters) will have some sort of adjustment, so you can tune it to only dish out part throttle until they master it, then turn it up little by little until full tilt, then you will be looking at upgrading to faster motors, etc.
