You should train the dog to flip the Truck over when you end up on your roof....My cat just stares at my crawler but wont go near it.

nice course, will make a fine practice/bashing track. it's good to see dads getting interested and helping out. you should get him to get a crawler too. just my opinion but you should look into getting some stickier tires and maybe an esc with drag brakes as your next upgrades. but most importantly have fun. |

My golden retriever leaves my crawler alone, fire up anything nitro and it's a whole different story.

I'd keep an eye on that dog to make sure he doesn't start marking his territory on your course.

A few years back I hit my Dachshund with my brushless converted 3.3 revo at a decent clip. The dog was ok, but to this day when he hears a mamba arm, he runs and hides. Nice home course, makes me wish I had a yard, darn condo life.. heh | |

Nice job!! It looks like a good start, but soon you are gonna want to make it longer, bigger, taller,......it always works out like that. |
