The MB and Blackfoot are both definitive vintage r/c in my book. 8) My daughter is now 6, but she will simply not take an interest in anything r/c. :roll: If it's not rainbows and unicorns she wants nothing to do with it. She won't even wear anything brown because it's a "boy's color", no joke! :lol:

that's awesome.

I tried to get my boy into R/C too...I even used my original 1987 Monster Beetle. He's autistic, so I figured it would be a good way for him to work on his hand/eye coordination and spatial distances (things he's always had trouble with).

It worked for a while too...but that summer, he also learned how to ride a bike...and that won. Oh well...

Love the Beetle...

Definitely starting young! Just got my 6 year old a B4 and will be taking him down the parking lot to get him some practice - he's really looking forward to it.

Someone at our local club has come up with an idea for his daughter and got a local painter to do a pokemon shell

I've also seen one painted with a hello Kitty design! Food for thought perhaps!

My daughter would love that Pokemon theme.... to show her or not? I probably could not replicate that....and I know that would be the request. :D
