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.

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

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.
