Finally some validation!

I've been trying to convince my wife these RC cars are fine tuned machines and not toys!

Even our Traxxas have that warning

Are you starting the mt410 build?

I got one in the closet for Xmas present for my son, but Xmas is so far away still time to get him something else

 

[paytonimusrex]

more like enough time to get you something else

It is indeed the MT410 2.0 and some upgrades (shock caps, cnc pistons, etc). Not sure when I'll start building it though. I still have my Kraken Vesla torn apart on my bench.

Yeah, send the MT410 to me, and you can get your son something nicer

I can't wait to see this build. Tekno are some mighty fine RC's for sure.

I think I am going to turn it into a monster truggy. I will definitely start a build thread once I start breaking those part bags open!

My car from Walmart had that warning on it... JK
I've been telling my Dad the same thing.

iv been making the argument for years that RC cars aren't toys, they're recreational vehicles, like a sand rail or dirt bike.

Of course they're toys! They have to put the warnings on them, as silly as it is.
If they weren't toys, I wouldn't still be buying them at 53 years old!! LOL
My wife says I'm dangerous, always telling friends and family to stay clear of me when I'm playing with my toys..

 

[paytonimusrex]

it’s one of those “adult toys” like a car or a ride on lawn mower or the UCS star wars legos

We have different definition of toys.

 

[paytonimusrex]

my irl car is a toy just mods cost way more than rc mods though maybe I could have bought a few things with how much I spent on these damn rc cars

 

[Speed Chaser]

Some of my high-end TC chassis cost more than my first car. I always find that funny. The same goes for the suspension in one of my cars—it cost more than my first car. Personally, I don't consider them traditional toys, just as I don't consider my robots to be dolls or action figures.

 

[paytonimusrex]

not toys in the traditional sense but things for us to have fun with nonetheless

Yep, guess that's what I was getting at too. "Big boys toys", LOL.

I've run into a few peeps, none more than myself, so it's all good.
