1. What is your experience level for driving and building RC cars and trucks? Have you ever driven one? Built one?
<span style="color: #3366ff">Experience is basically Zero. I have driven a few back when I was in middle school but am now 34 years old.
</span>2. Where do you plan on running your RC?
<span style="color: #3366ff"> In the yard with my kids and in the woods behind my house. No racing, just playing around</span>
3. What is your intention for buying? Are you going to race or bash?
<span style="color: #3366ff">Having fun is #1. I just want to hang out with the kids and bond a little
</span>4. What is your budget?
<span style="color: #3366ff">300-400 but that needs to be a complete vehicle ready to run. I don't want to search for batteries/controllers/anything</span>
5. What scale RC are you looking for? 1/5, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/18, etc?
<span style="color: #3366ff">do not know. I love the look of the Traxxas Slash and the savage xs flux but don't know if 1:16 would like the woods. This is probably the biggest reason for joining here, I do not know what would fit my needs the best.
</span> <span style="color: #3366ff">Would a 1:10 be that much better?
</span>6. What type of power source do you want? Electric or Nitro?
<span style="color: #3366ff">Electric
</span>7. Are you looking for something durable with more support for replacement parts or "hop ups" or are you looking for
an inexpensive car just to have fun with.
<span style="color: #3366ff"> Durability is #1 on the list. I don't mind fixing it if it breaks but do not want to be "tinkering" with it every time I take it out. The most mintenance I want to do is charging the battery. (Not really, but you get the point )
</span>8. Do you want a RTR (ready to run with everything but fuel and batteries) or a kit that you would have to build and
add parts manually to?
<span style="color: #3366ff"> RTR
</span>9. What type of starting system do you want? Bump box, roto-start, pull start, electric-start?
<span style="color: #3366ff">n/a</span>
10. Are you comfortable working on your own car for repairs or do you know a LHS (Local Hobby Shop) that can repair for you?
<span style="color: #3366ff">I am decent at fixing stuff but would go to a shop for bigger things


</span>I ride dirt bikes and quads with my kids and we have a few places around that we go. I have seen a few people out in the woods with rc cars and my kids seem to enjoy watching it. They are 9-8 and 4 years old. I am a complete n00b to this type of thing but want to see if it is something my kids would like to do. I have a rc race track pretty close to my house ( that I just found out about) and if my kids show interest, that would be a cool thing for them to do.

I see a lot of vids online of people taking these trucks to skate parks and beating them, that isn't my plan. I really want an ultra durable fun to drive vehicle that won't flip over every 3 seconds and can go through some rough stuff without getting hung up on a stick the size of a pencil.

Thanks!!!<span style="color: #3366ff">
