Any R/C Car or Truck people out there?

Not sure that I have seen much chatter about the topic here.
….but I may have missed it.

My son got a Traxxas Slash 4x4 at the beginning of covid, as we were somewhat house-bound and looking for things to do (it was his birthday, and he had collected and saved up the funds….)

He has enjoyed running it around our yard and driveway - but we recently ‘found’ a local venue that holds some indoor races on the weekends.
I was not aware of the group until a couple weeks ago.

We went saturday night, and he had a pretty good time.
Unfortunately, he’s almost 16 - and I think feels a little conflicted between a hobby like that and ‘other stuff’.

In any case, I just ordered a transponder for his car along with a couple other performance-type parts. He did pretty well driving, and he’s willing to go back. They do this weekly during the winter. It’s a good alternative to sitting around and doing ‘nothing’ here in WI in Jan/Feb/March.

Just curious if anybody else out there has gotten into this. I’m thinking maybe I should offer him some ‘friendly competition’, at risk of getting carried away.

Cheers, everybody!
