I got one of these for my daughter almost two years ago, but she hasn't really driven it that much. With the winter looming and less opportunity to do stuff outdoors, I figured now is the time to get back to some indoor RC training, and what better way to show her how it's done than getting my own 1:18 crawler to lead the way? I considered one of the bigger brands - the new TRX-M came out a few days after I bought this and it looks seriously good - but at more than double the price, it was a bit out of budget for an impulse purchase. Plus, I figured it would be better to show her what can be done with the same truck, so there can't be any "but my truck can't do it" type arguments. I didn't entirely like the black wheels on the LC90 variant that I got for my daughter, so instead I bought the Cub version, which comes with a sort of IH Scout body sort of thing, if you squint, with built-in lights and plastic parts and grey wheels. And then I bought another LC90 bodyset, because I really, really like that Toyota body. It might not be a perfect replica, but the Cub body is cute, too. It's a really nice colour and the light buckets are a neat touch. It's just a shame about the stick-on windows. More on that in a later update.
