honestly I hit that wall I have fun but its not as fun as at 1st
I blame it on lack of people to drive with, and always driving on the same exact terrain
wish there was a track nearby cause even though the terrain would be the same people you run into would vary, and liven things up

Only rc's that have put any kind of a smile on my face recently were my whacky ass creations, but I attribute that more to the joy of seeing something I built, and worked on move, and not explode
Yeah I kinda feel the same. That's why I just bought my brother a body and new ESC for his Rustler so I could at least have someone to do RC stuff with.
I keep telling my nephews to bring their RC's, but honestly they are so forgetful its not funny. That and they are 100% disorganized cause when they do come my brother wakes them up like 5 mins b4 he has to leave the house...

BTW thats the problem with having too many rc's that are way over powered for kids to drive. I only really have one loaner, but my little nephew feels its too fast for him (DF-02 with ST tires, a ST body on it, and a 27t tamiya motor in it)
Having someone to bash around with is key, it makes it much more enjoyable.

I hear ya on the "too fast" bit, for kids. That's why I have a range of setups, a 23T in a DT-02, a MM 5700 in a Durga, and the "fast enough to hurt someone" 801xt. The higher turned brushed stuff is better for the kids to drive, and honestly still fun. The bonus is that electronics are cheap for a secondhand ESC and brushed motor, since everyone is dumping them for brushless.
