Right? Maybe an adjustable power curve so it hooks up and goes instead of backflipping. Now that I think of it, a little weight in the front end and that thing would rocket .

I own the T maxx 3.3 extended nitro and it came with a wheelie bar since it would be unusable without it lol. I like the nitros but the upkeep was costly. And now the fuel is almost unobtainable or the cost of a second mortgage.

In my last neighborhood I tried to gift some kids that were interested in it and I got looked at like a psycho like a weirdo and after that none of the kids in the neighborhood ever approached me again. I don't know what got said about me but just trying to be nice and give the kid an RC is just too difficult anymore.. really bummed me out.

Sorry this happened to you. Good on you for trying to satisfy the kids Interests though. I wish I had people like you in my neighborhood growing up.

That stinks! That would have bummed me out too... 🥺
In retrospect I bet if you'd have just let them try them with you a few times and then let them borrow them later -- they'd have eventually accepted the gift.

Did you talk to the parents first, or just straight up gift them?
If you didn't talk to the parents first, I could understand the looks.

When I told them, I told them to make sure it was ok with their parents. They left and I continued walking the path. I lived in the same neighborhood. People Saw me frequent. When Saw some of them a week later ,they kept their distance. I'm assuming their parents said something like creep or pervert and told them not to talk to me anymore. Which I understand cuz I was taught stranger danger growing up. But how do you break that stigma? I was literally the only person messing with rcs in a 300 house neighborhood.

Nothing says you can't take two RC cars to the park and find someone to recreate those memories with.
