If you want a good all around truck, for a reasonable price, you are looking in the right direction with the Revo. Also, Do not Rule out the Savage (About $400 RTR). Both are VERY durable, and will give you a lot of enjoyment.
As for "some light jumping", we often subject these trucks to BIG AIR, and lots of abuse. The Revo and Savage both hold up great. There are other trucks out that are fun to drive, and in some cases a bit faster, but if Durability is an issue, I would stick with one of these.
Since you are in Naperville, you should try to come up to the Track (Leisure Hours) Saturday, and watch the racing. You can see how well the trucks handle, and take abuse. Besides, I'm sure your son would enjoy watching the races too.
