Got my grandson into rock crawling for something the two of us can do together. I first bought a cheapo toy that died 5 minutes after he opened it for his birthday. Next day I went to my hobby shop and found an Axial SCX 24 Deadbolt. I charged it up, tried it out, and 5 minutes later I was back on the road 'cause he shouldn't be allowed to have that much fun by himself and wound up with a Jeep.
I then remembered that I had a Nikko 1/20 scale RC toy. The Axial's are 1/24th, so I installed a shorter dirveshaft and rear links, and kitbashed some body mounts. It came out pretty good and it climbs like crazy.
My goal is to cultivate him into a lifetime hobby, and eventually get him into aircraft.
