I have been coming to this area for my entire 10+ years career on YouTube.. and today, I get to wheel here with my 5 year old son, Maurice - for the first time! This is the first spring season he is old enough to have enough wits about him, and skill with the controller - to be out on a "true" trail. Maurice (aka Moe), was born into this hobby, as I have been producing a show on YouTube called "RC ADVENTURES" for his entire life. He has always shown interest in my trucks, and he has been wheeling for a few years now... just not too far from home. Last year, he had a few trial runs at an annual competition called a "Top Truck Competition" or the "TTC". It was my 9th Year filming the event.. and my son had seen previous videos.
This year, he wants to compete! It will be my 10th year filming the competition - and I am elated that my son may take part. If thats the case, I am responsible for getting him prepared.. it will take place in late July, 2019.
The trucks we are driving today are made by a company called Traxxas. The model of the trucks are:
FORD BRONCO TRX4 :
TRX4 "Sport" 4X4 1/10 Scale Crawler, Blue:
and for all the CHEVY Fans! TRX4 :
These trucks are great.. and if you want to build one of your own (the above links are for pre-built models) they do have a KIT available:
. (but you need to buy electronics)
Here are some of my suggested electronics..
1) Hobbywing QuicRun ESC (Waterproof)
2) Digital Waterproof Servo:
3) Traxxas 3975R Reverse Rotation Titan 550 Brushed Motor (21-turn 14V)
4) Flysky FS-GT5 6CH AFHDS RC Transmitter w/ FS-BS6 Receiver
5) Gens Ace Lipo Battery (2s, 7.4v 5000mah)
6) Hyperion EOS0606I AC/DC Balance Charger 6S/6A 50W
Yes, these are Amazon affiliate links - and trust that I have actually used all of the products listed above.. and trust they will get you what you are looking for! Search my YouTube channel for more in depth overviews, and films about these trucks. No.. I do not work for Traxxas.. lol! I just have had many questions over the years in the comment sections of my videos.. and like to give all the folks who take the time to check this description some info they came for.
We had an EPIC TIME TODAY, outside and having fun on the creek! Im sure proud of my Son, and expect him to out wheel me in the coming months! haha :) That's the job of any Dad, isn't it?! To help their children become all they can be.. and more.
Remember - be patient with your children. Remember they have never done any of this stuff before.. and they are still figuring out life. Give them the room they need to breathe.. and let them discover their own limitations, or lack of - on their own.
Now Get Outside and RC! You know we ALWAYS DO!
