Post by: Bainn on December 17, 2008, 01:40:36 PM Ah, damn good idea as a gift, I got a Kyosho Optima for Xmas when I was a kid, had to build it and enjoyed every minute of it.
When on to race it locally in the regional club, ended up customising it with belt drive hand wound motor, etc. Got a medal or two knocking around somewhere....... He will enjoy it.

If he follows my example he will respect his betters, show grace in adversity, care and show compassion where needed and make his Father proud. Title: Re: remote control cars??

An extra battery is a must, in my day you got about 20mins usage from a charge but you can get a "Fast" charger. Believe me these things can be fast even the electric ones and can hit with some force and I have seen a race side Marshall knocked over when one hit him. Title: Re: remote control cars??

Slap your face with a wet kipper young man.
