good'ole time.Why he was taking the whole car aprt for a motor plate and front shock tower Ill never know.He ended up braking more stuff taking it apart.SO on the next trip to the LHS I made sure to take him with me lol.

When I was 4 years old I was given a small toolbox. One morning, my dad woke up and when he tried to open the bathroom's door, the handle fell off.
I had dissassembled all the door handles in the house. Even today my dad still laugh when he talks about it (I'm 29)
I designed and my first rc plane when I was 11. Altough it never flew ( couldn't afford an engine and rc gear..), it was still quite an accomplishment. It was based on a plan in Model Airplane News, the G-MAN if my memory is right.
I guess that if you show your bro how it works... He'll become an accomplished builder in no time.

I built my first kit when I was 12(I'm now 20). Traxxas stampede. I did ok. The body looked terrible (one solid color with runs galore and fingerprints and body post holes all over-- looked like swiss cheese ) and they were some of the leakiest shocks I've ever seen! That explains the little bag of O-rings I found after I thought I was done. I've had two other stampedes since then. The original kit has become spare parts!

dude i was worst when i started. when i had my duratrax street force, i had to completely dissaseble the car to replace a pulley, i ended up losing most of the screws in the carpeting and who knows where else, i lost a bunch of e clips, lost one of the motor mounts, it eneded up taking me 3 or 4 days and costing me lot, i was only like 11 or 12. it was awful man, even today i still lose stuff
