Dad and Lad RC
Father and son just getting started in the world of RC, and specifically trailing/crawling. Join us as we get to grips with our first 'rides' and follow our attempts to build a cool back garden crawling/trail course, as well as venturing out into the wilds with our 4x4s.
Things have moved on a lot from my Kyosho Turbo Optima back in the late-1980s, and while my teenage son has had various toy-grade RCs from an early age - as well as a spectacular 1/32 Siku tractor - his first proper foray was his Maverick Strada short-track 1/10 truck a few years back. We are heading into crawling via 1/18th scale 4x4s, although we already have eyes on moving up to 1/10th scale down the line...
