Talking Is 5 to young??? Dudders the 3rd!

Well, after weeks of complaint from Dudders Jnr Jnr I've brought Harry a car . Harry turned 5 at Christmas but is 'mad for it'... plenty of park driving before he gets loose on a track. For his age he's actually quite measured!.

Its a B4 roller so just need the gubbings for inside. Of course he wants it built and ready NOW but its going to take me a few weeks to source all the parts. Will try and rape the Tamiya Boomerang later tonight and see if the servo/motor + bits will fit

Hope it's not too young as my 5 year old will also be hitting the car parks with his B4 very soon!

My boy started racing when he was 4, started doing the 1/18th scale nationals when he was 5. He is turning 8 this year and completed his 3rd season of racing the micro nationals. Never too young to start. As long they can reach the controls and the car isn't too fast then they'll love it.

Yet at the Age of 29 im still reeping havok both on the track and in the street!!

On a serious note, the younger the better. Many of the best drivers started out really young. Really good idea to give them practice off the track first using make-shift track in the garden/park.

Could well be the Craggy of 2020 in the making
