Default The cost of Crawling

Budget crawlers motor - $10.00
Set of good crawler axles - $140.00
Smile on buch of kids faces while driving over their legs(zero harm) - price less!!!

What did you do to make a kid smile today?

Building lego buildings with my 3 year old daughter and then crawling over them with my Chevy Scaler. Makes her laugh every time.

Oh the lego's!
Never thought of that.

My son is now nine and the other kids are from 5 (girl) to 12
(her brother and buddy).
These kids are going(was) through divorce times.
They live next door and visited us for some fun!

my daughter ( 2) plays with all the bodies for scalers and loves them while I build the chassis and such fun for everyone involved.

My 2 daughters love my rcs. The oldest ( likes to get on the trampoline and every time she trys to get off I chase her down with my brushless slash. She laughs and has a HUGE smile, but to be honest I think it scares her. As for the youngest (17 months) she likes to wear all of my crawler bodys around like hats. They aren't nearly as scratched up as they should be, downside, it looks like I drag my crawler upside down down the street from having to crawl bodyless. But there is nothing like a smiley 1 year old, so I don't mind.

My kids love to be obsticles too. At first I kind of felt bad but when I stopped and they wanted more I had no room to argue. My oldest and I got Honchos for Christmas and we go on scale runs every chance we get!

Took 2 of my nephews to the largest vintage snowmobile show in the USA (brought the sled in my avitar)

Brought the brushless Emax on 6s Lipos with paddle tires, and a couple of scalers to do some snow wheeling.
We all had a blast

When I gave my 5yo his very own Micro(LOSI). Now we work on them together. He is getting old enough now for a mini. He still likes to take the nylint on our indoor course, but he really likes it when I get my scaler AX-10 bronco out.

When my dad still worked before he blew out his knee, he would always take me to work with him(log truck driver) when I had the day off from school or a snow day or something. I always had a blast. But now he can't work so we just work on his mini losi scaler and I play with my honcho and we have a blast
