Tamiya TRF416 testing by 7 year old

[scotoap]

My pals son had his first drive of his new TRF416, testing at his local track, only lasted two battery packs as he got too throttle happy down the main straight front C and hub carrier busted (at full tilt) home and change for 415 ones whilst ordering new 416 ones before his family return to UK.

My pal reackons its faster and more stable than the 415 fore runners so I am looking forward to getting mine circa end of January.

why would you let a 7 year old use such an expensive piece of kit?

cos he was 2nd in the Philipines round of the all Asia Tamiya cup and is currently making a lot of semi pro racers in UK look twice and ask his age.
Look at the results of the BRCA junior races this year, I bet he will start to be in the upper rankings having seen him race in UK now ( up in Scotland ).
I reackon he will relax with his 501X when he gets it as he is so serious about TC racing, buggies will be just fun to him.
I'll keep you all informed as and when he competes in any nationals etc. if your interested that is?
