Got one of these Losi Mini LST off DMS
http://www.losi.com/Products/Feature...rodID=LOSB0217

Look decent and can be upgraded further if you want. Plus they have spares etc. May be a bit much for the kids at the moment but i'll have some extra fun!!
Seen them with brushless motors and lipos fitted as well as other hop up parts. Comes with oil filled shock absorbers and set up can be adjusted. Looking at ways of gearing it down and seeing if I can get a slower motor for them. But I should have it Monday and let you know how it goes ;)


The Micro's look great for indoors. Losi even sell a track for them!! However when I saw a review it said the steering mechanism wasn't very accessible so you can only use it on clean stuff (no dirt) otherwise you could clog it up.

I've also got some Air hog mini racers Mater & Francesco versions

They were in the bargain bin at smyth's for £5 instead of £25. Ace for indoors and a great stocking filler.

GX buggies we all got for xmas last year and loved em but not really for outdoors. and not on carpet or you spend ages getting fluff out the axles.

I am Biased of coures so bear that in mind but the new Kyosho Sandamaster and Nexxt buggy are cheap and great! Kit form if you prefer a basic build option too!!.

I got my son a Maisto Rock Crawler Junior http://www.modelzone.co.uk/rock-crawler-junior.html

It goes over plenty of stuff, sadly the steering could be much better. But overall not bad for under 20 quid which is what I paid :)

I can't wait till my kids are old enough to have a hobby grade RC. Something like a Midnight Pumpkin or Lunchbox would be cool!
