4wd 18 T remote control car




<
Here is the story behind this little baby. Aden who is 7 wanted a remote control car for Christmas. He talks to his brother,Steve and they talk about this type of car and what Steve is buying for his boys. Initially, I think the cost is too high for a 7 yr old boy. Mr. Incredible sells me on the idea because if it breaks or if Dash crashes it, we can buy the parts to replace it and fix it. Sounds good to me. Mr. Incredible goes to the hobby shop to look for the car that Steve bought but they do not have those in stock so he buys this other car on his recommendation. He said, it was just as good. They brothers get together on New Years holiday and pull out the cars. Apparently, our car was significantly faster than his, so they being competitive brothers had to go to a hobby shop in Atlanta and "supe" their cars up for a better performance. :shakes head:
Mr. Incredible also bought a car just like Dash's. He is like a little boy. I have never seen this behavior before. These little cars should be known as a "money pit". Dash has broken his car countless of times and Bill has had to buy part after part and I have not seen the top of my kitchen table since January 3rd. He works on them at night and then test drives it at 1am in our front yard and street. Tonight, Mr. Incredible broke his little car and is working on it but is very sad because the part he needs has to be ordered! I suppose it isn't that bad since the parts are like $1.50 ::rolls eyes::
