Next generation coming into it.
Hey guys, just wanted to let everybody know my 3yr old daughter just got her first rc truck. Its not much now its a Nikko Scorpion. I used to have one when I was coming up and loved it. We got it for $3 from a thrift store. The great thing about this thing was its a nikko, but you can upgrade it with hobby grade parts. Its got a 540 or 550 size motor, plenty of room for a esc, and standard size servo all easily accessible. It even has crystals so were using a tq 3 on it. Its great to start them early.

So you think 13 is to early for brushless and lipos? I had a tmaxx with a big block when I was 13. And you can count on the pics for later on. If nothin else when I want to strangle her new boyfriend I can remember the good ol days.

And then she discovers boys and starts dating, and a whole different set of headaches begin.
At least with RCs, if you can keep her intersted long enough in them, that set of headaches are way less complicated!
