That's a good start, 3 yrs old, He will be into it in a year or 2.

He goes nuts when he sees all of my RC cars.
My Xmaxx is his favorite. I haven't ran any with him yet but I will soon.

Ran my 02 dodge and it decided it didn't want to play anymore. My rc budget is shot for the rest of the year now

MT10 in rally mode (again). It's a stretch, I know.

Anyway did a RC simulation American Rally Association (aka ARA) Souther Ohio National/Eastern Regional scheduled for this coming weekend. It covers 197km, so did the 1/10 conversion and came up with two 19lap stages.

It's run over 80%gravel, 20% tarmac, so split the difference RC with 80/20 grass and concrete sidewalk and driveway at home. Still looking for a suitable gravel site to run more representative events. For now, it's the best I can do.

Simulated Limited 4WD class (L4WD) with a THR of 50%. Ran a Stage 1 time of 9m:19s and a Stage 2 time of 9m:43s with an overall time of 20m:36.2s. Ending with a 24s penalty and Speed Factor of 47. Starting to get into this RC rally thing the more I get into it. Cheers. 'AC'

I fired up the electronics on the foam cub I'm building.

I decided to take a mental health day this past Tuesday and spent most of the day at my track. The track was dry & dusty as heck. Ran the Vorteks for the 1st time on the track and it ran great (3 packs through it). Also ran the Senton a little until my steering went out. Servo is fine, appears to be something in the bellcrank steering binding. Ran the Slash (after having to readjust the mesh) and man I still love that 2wd action on the loose dirt! Such a different driving experience. Got some cool vid stills too. Enjoy!

That looks like a great mental break day!
Excellent pics and videos!
I took the last 2 days off myself. Mine, however, involved a lot of house projects. It was a lot of work, but I kinda enjoy getting things done around the house when nobody is home during the day.

Can I take a mental health week?
Even though it is the last 2/3 days of school. Grades was closed on Monday, now they switched it to Friday. Teachers are still giving us work. In some classes it is ok because its final tests/exams and stuff. And in the rest of the classes, its watch a movie or free time.

The wife decided she wanted to try her hand at the Kraton 8S yesterday. It was comical but she had fun...at least until she wedged it under the bottom of the chain-link fence lol

 

[DavidB1126]

I don't think I got space for a 1/5.

How much does that weigh? 20-30 pounds?

Was she driving it from inside the vehicle? Looks like she could fit

Lol, just about. I told her to stand on top of it and "surf" it while I drove it around. She looked at me like a was crazy

Fly's like a dream..

If I flew her, she would have flown like the Hindenberg

 

[Tunedfrog]

She is a bit jumpy in the 3d mode but still easy to handle.

At least you can fly it. I have flown a drown. Ha

 

[Tunedfrog]

I went to the park to fly but it turned out to be a disaster.
Couple nose dive crashes and got attacked by mosquitos.
Pissy mood but it's because I have to visit my vampire today. .
