RCTalk Champion
A year ago my daughter wanted her own rc truck. I got her an ECX 1/18 short course truck. Now after a year of her bashing that thing it still runs pretty good. She wanted to try racing it. I took her to the track for the last race before Christmas and got her into the novice class. She was going up against three others that have been running for a little bit so I figured she would be dead last but as long as she has fun that was all that mattered.
Well first heat, 3 minutes, the buzzer went off and she took off. First corner she forgot to do two things, first was to slow down a bit, second was to turn. Luckily there was another truck there for her to run over and get pointed in the right direction. From that point on with a little help she did alright in getting around the track and finished the heat in 2nd place. Now the next heat she stayed focused on what she had to do and had some fun with the big jump but managed to win that one. The A-Main she lined up well and did a good job but kept getting over excited and traction rolling at one corner resulting in a second place overall. She had a blast and I walked away very proud of her. I had more fun with that then I can remember having racing on my own.
She ran into and over just about everyone. Nobody blamed her or held it against her, they just understood she is learning. So after the new year she will be back on the track racing her heart out.
