Great stuff, guys!
Eric, Tim - I wasn’t even aware of the “Mini Z” thing. Those look pretty cool.

My kid also has a mini Losi truck that seems to have become obsolete. Something is awry with that one - either battery, ESC, or motor. Cannot seem to find parts (I think it needs other stuff too) - but it was a pretty cool truck at the time (probably 2013 or 2014).

Tim-
You’re right about the Slash VXL. I have not tried TSM, but the brushless 4x4 is pretty cool.
Unfortunately, it puts him in the Modified class. I think carpet tires will help a lot - so stay tuned.

You’re all also right about which hobbies we commit to.
During the non-crappy part of the year, my kid and I do a lot of MTB riding. He started racing last year, and I expect that to continue. I’ll probably do more of them this year myself - but it’s hell getting old! I guess if I’m close to him when he’s 15 and I’m 51, life isn’t horrible though.

Let’s hope this covid thing is getting wrapped up someday soon and we can get together, drink beer, drive our ‘big’ toys, and do everything we would like again.

I’ll put up some photos - probably after this weekend’s event.
