aloha all, my 11yr. old son did something real cool today and he wanted to tell you all.

Nice to hear! I built the M04-M, it was a real blast to build, and very easy, so i know you've had fun:)

Awesome. M04 is a fun car to build and drive.


Now teach him about the shift key.

yeah I was very proud of him. I didn't need to help him that much and he had a blast. I bought this kit used and he has been driving it, I just thought it would be a fun project and a good leaning opportunity. so dad's tare down one of your kits that you have a manual for and let your youngins build there first kit. brought back great memories.

not forgetting the M-chassis fun to race too.. u can check with the guys at your local rc track...;)

I just stopped racing, closest track is a three hour trip, so we just bash around the house now, and the 8yr. old can get invalved

nice post :)

One of the fastest racers in my area is 12. Look out! It might not be long before he's beating you on the track :tire::D:tire:

Happy Thanksgiving, all you Americans.

Thats awesome, i'm glad you guys had a fun holiday!!
My first car was an original Tamiya Blackfoot that I built myself :) RTR Kits are easy, but sometimes its fun to build it yourself!! Plus then if something breaks you know how to fix it. ;)

thanks everyone, yeah it's nice. now I know my car a lot better. :nod:

Got a Datsun 280z body for x-max, it's sweet. I'll put pic's up when I'm done painting it, with my dad's help :blush:

Ooh yes, i like pics! I like the pic in the avatar aswell, the BMW 2002:)

Great story Hawaiian, R/C'n is something yall can stay involved with
for a long time!
And Hawaiian Jr, let your dad win a race or two every now and then,
it will make him feel good.:D:D

thanks but you can't call me Hawaiian Jr. since I've never been there lol. let him win, he's way better then me:cry: but I'm getting better. :nod: and now my 8 yr. old brother has a M03 like my dad and he just crashes into us, it's like playing keep away but with rc cars.
