Here comes Santa Claus

[sweetdiesel]

Yes, Christmas is just around the corner. Just wondering what Santa is bringing the young ones in your lives...sons & daughters, nieces & nephews, maybe even your friend's children. I have a few nephews that are just getting to the age of real R/C (4,8 and 11 yrs old) but I'm not going to shell out $200 for a mini that is going to sit after 15 minutes.

Here's some of the less expensive RC stuff I've seen that are toy quality but look like fun. My bro in law has a large pool and I think the kids would have fun playing with this...

I know its early for him to see what he got, but we had to get some pics of him. He is 8 months old and almost walking, so I'm hoping to have him on these by the end of the winter.

That is too cool VB, he looks ready to hit the slopes. I had no idea they made those things in tyke size. Very cute!

Ah, VB, that's a good looking kid!

My boy is 6, so I'd really like to get him an old school Erector set, one with the electric motor.

Have you seen the newer ones, they have RC capability.

I bought my son a 4 wheeler. It's 90cc fully automatic with electric start, remote cut off, full throttle governing, and a tether strap cut off...I can't wait!!!

sweetdiesel, dont waste your money on that hovercraft. if the kids have a big pool, get them each some hobbico reef racer2's. my son and i have 1 of those and a zigzag 2, we play with those when I'm not running the shockwave. the zigzags are faster but not as foolproof as the reef racers.

I'm getting my daughter a newer computer and a desk set, mini-t hopups, clothes and a telescope (the one in that link SD posted actually)

oh that is all for combined B-day and Christmas BTW.....
