Christmas present for my daughter

So last night I get a email from Tower Hobbies with their new coupon codes, $71 dollars off $399. So I pulled the trigger on a Bomber for my 4 year old daughter. As a bonus there was free shipping. I thought this was a great deal & I will be lowering the gearing to slow it down. But I figured this would hold up to the abuse a 4 year old can dish out. She does do well with my D90 due to it being rather slow, my Yeti not so much, she's taking her self out a time or two.

So what's your thoughts? I'm not even telling my wife until she opens it on Christmas. Lol.
 
Haha, that's awesome!! I picked up my spawn last week after thinking I got a killer deal from tower.. Now I'm up to 800+ for the build parts I want..lol
 
When I bought my daughter, 6 yrs old a wraith I geared it down to 87/12 and she still is running the stocks motor 6 years later. She would put a doll in it and just crawl.
 
Maybe try limiting the throttle on the controller. The bomber has a 35t and it's pretty dang slow. Like slow enough to make me mad slow. lol
 
Well I was able to remove the factory plastic body panels & made some aluminum panels & painted them pink for her(her favorite color). I can't wait to see her face in the morning!

Well the bomber was a hit! She ran 2 battery packs through it yesterday.

Some pics from the first outing. The stock bomber has some crazy flex to it.
