RC Thread....not the cola


Apr 12, 2021, 9:47 AM

As I put in my GMHWYW thread, my son and I have been playing around with remote control cars a lot. We don't race them, we just take them to the track to have some fun, take them in the woods and rock crawl around or we make challenges.

I find its some of the best time that we spend together. He gets a little frustrated at times, cause he is 6, almost 7 and learning the coordination of it all, but he is getting better and better. The good cars are not cheap, but they do last a long time. I have had mine for gosh, 8-10 years. I haven't messed with the loud gas or nitro ones, just electric that we charge.

Anyone else do this with their kiddos?

Here is the site where I snagged his on sale:

Yes...

my son and i enjoy it a bunch. Once you upgrade batteries it's nice.

We have some sort of traxxis 4x4, and we built a replica of my FJ Cruiser trail teams as well.

Fun little hobby

Apr 12, 2021, 9:53 AM

I think its cool, but not my gig.

That seems silly to do that.***

Please forgive me, @IneligibleUser


Never really did that with Joonyer.

It was easier and cheaper to just let him drive the Jeep or the truck around the fields out at our farm.

if I only had a half ton with a cattle bed


Apr 12, 2021, 9:54 AM

and 30 some acres. Ahhhhh the days of farm life.

I can still smell the inside of that nasty truck. My grandma put quilts over the seats cause that old vinyl would eat you alive.

Those really were the good ol days.

I've got a Traxxas Stampede 2WD.

Bought it ten or more years ago. It was collecting dust until the pandemic when I decided it might be fun to fix it up. Put a new body on it, new wheels, brushless motor, updated the gearing, yada yada. Haven't messed with in a few months, though.

Is there anything more plain or vanilla than a F150 RC?
