| Bronco for the Stable
Recently picked up a CC-01 Bronco to build with the grandkid. Hes real good at dis-assembly and actually has a fair grip on re-assembly. Gonna have him help me do a kit from scratch. It will be slow going I'm sure but hopefully he will dig it. |

Love it when people bring the kids into the hobby. My 14 year old daughter bought herself her first crawler 3 months ago and hasn't touched a video game since. She just informed me she wants another crawler to compete with now. I'm thinking I might have to buy this one Wont be long and he'll be showing you how to crawl |

Futures solid. Three generations hooked. Stampedes. One for each kid, one for each Dad and one for the old guy. |

That's such and nice thing to do with your grankid, He'll love the bronco for sure. Nice job on the painting too, Were waiting for updates here lol. Make sure you lock the rear diff or its a disappointing rig to be honest even at 29 I was disappointed and had to undo the rear axle to lock it. Also consider bearings if you havent got them only two things I've done to mine and extremely happy with it

Built a wraith kit with my daughter, who was 7 at the time. Sure it took longer than doing it myself, but it was awesome to spend the time with her doing something we both enjoyed. Have fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hes been through all the store bought ones. He can be rough. Got him into hobby grade cause we figured at least we can rebuild as opposed to toss out. LOL Hes getting a Deadbolt for his 4th Bday next weekend. RTR. Want to show him how to "create" one. From the box anyway. Hes been pretty good with my hard body jeep. |

My chassis builder hasn't been around this week. Had a little free time this eve so I was tinkering around with the decals on the body. Not gonna win any concours wins but I'm happy with it thus far. Should look OK from ten paces. |

All those window trim decals can be a pain! Mine always end up wadded into a little sticky ball in the trash lol.

So never really got the Grandkid to sit still enough to build. Had some free time around holidays and put it together. Bearings and a 35 t motor. Nice and smooth. Nice little scaler. |
