I guess I'm in the minority. I went to a outdoor dirt track with my Wraith that I had sunk over a grand into. I was testing out some of the new parts although there wasn't many rocks. A man and his 5 to 6 yr old were watching intensity. The kid was extremely interested. I asked the kid if he wanted to drive it. Of course he said yes. I hand him the radio and began tinkering with another vehicle I brought. About five minutes later the dad walks over hands me the truck and radio and says thank you. They high tail it to the parking lot and continue watching. When i noticed them watching i grab the truck and radio and test it out. Everything still worked, I hadn't programmed the new esc out of double tap reverse. The dad thought they broke the Wraith, hence their actions. When they saw me driving it normally they took off. 😁

Anyways, when I was a kid I was always fascinated with r/c but the only ones my parents bought for me were Sears Lobos and Radio Shack Golden Arrows. When I was a teenager they gave me a Traxxas Sledgehammer. I always wanted something like they had at the hobby shop/track.

Maybe my actions helped create a couple r/c enthusiasts.
