I bought a Tamiya Frog and since then have also bought a Tamiya CR-01, Tamiya Mitsubishi Lancer VII, and a RC Plane. I am in the process of building a car with my 3 year old son and he is doing all of the assembly. For me, the build is about 65% of the satisfaction so it pains me when I step in to a hobby shop and everything is Ready To Run (RTR).
Wow...You just brought me way back. The Tamiya Frog was my 1st RC car that was my intro to RC cars and bought 2nd hand from my friend. I've been considering getting back into RC cars/trucks (nitro this time), but considering I already have 2 fairly expensive hobies (shooting and cigars) and a new babby this might have to sit on a back burner since I'm not going to sideline either of my currents.
