Hi all, just joined the forum a few days ago. I’m not new to RC. I just haven’t been really active for almost 25 years. I’ve had and raced a lot of cars, I still have my Rc10 graphite from when I was in high school. I’m 42 years old, I have a 12 year old son. I got him into rc when he was 4. It started with a Losi Jr crawler, then a night crawler. I bought one to. We had a ridiculous amount of fun with zero broken parts repairs ect. For his 9th birthday we got him a 2wd slash brushed. He has used the heck out of it and also taken very good care of it. 3 years and we have had very few parts that broke, which is impressive. We have 20 acres, he races the 65 and 85 motocross class. So naturally he drives his rc on our track, he very good with his truck. 3 months ago his best friend put a brushless set up in his 2wd slash, with a Lipo battery. Holy moly it was fast fo the first 10 seconds! Then it broke, totally uncontrollable. So my son realized that there were faster trucks out there, crap that = more money! We saw the arrma outcast at our LHS and started looking into it. Long story short, 2 months later i ordered an outcast for him and a notorious for me. This is his birthday present, October 20th. Work fell through for me today(self employed) so I figured out the new charger and 4s batteries. Then I had to drive my notorious, holy crap! I’m hooked. In the first 5 minutes you couldn’t slap the smile off my face! That thing is unreal! I’m so impressed. Our LHS is an hour away, and they are A holes. I purchased our new stuff online because of their attitude. So my question is being that we live in the sticks, what parts will be good to keep in stock so we can bash and keep the fun going? Thank you in advance for your replies! I’m sure I’m gonna be asking a lot of questions that have already been asked, I’ll need your help to keep two of these going till I learn em!
I can’t wait for his BIrthday! I wanna stop hiding these rigs from him!
