Finally made my decision!

[IPlayWRocks]

After LOTS and LOTS of appreciated suggestions and research. I have made the decision go get the Redcat Ascent 18 Brushless vehicle. I have already found a mod kit and body that I am so excited to build on. I will post pictures once she is all done. Probably next week or 2 when all the parts arrive! Thank you so much for all your help!

Wise choice! Really like 1/18 scale in nature. The smaller the truck the bigger the obstacles.
If you get bored waiting for 2 weeks you can already build a small obstacle course to welcome the truck on.

Oh, already on it. Went to Lowe's to get wood for a ramp

Sweet! My Redcat 1/18 is a lot of fun! Enjoy! Oh- pics of it & the course! Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so excited! This is why I love this hobby. Brings back that child hood excitement. Will do!

Tomorrow I'll try and send a picture of the mini track I've build for my 1/18. Its in my workshop at the moment.

 

[IPlayWRocks]

Oh yes! Ideas are always appreciated. I am googling track ideas. Or I may just start collecting rocks and sticks on the side of the road lol @Beer_Goggles_RC.

Very nice, happy you decided on something, should be a lot of fun for you two.

This is the 1/18 Lumberyard, also fun when slightly angled.

My son won’t let me do that, he’s six.

Sweet looking rig, good job.

He only let me do it once, then was like, "ehh maybe not anymore." But now he is creating a crawling track for me with dvd's and pillows. #familytimeRC
