your Kids cars?

Inspired by a post in another forum asking how to slow down an rc for a 3 year old:

what vehicles does everyone use for their little ones to play around with?

My daughter is 2.5yrs old and she loves driving her bus!

This is a (*gasp*) traxxas stampede that has been highly modified over the years and is now just about kid proof. It sports lots of rpm upgrades including the wide front bumper. the homemade wheelie bar and a low-geared trinity sapphire motor will allow it to do wheelies for about 50 feet(always a favorite among kids of all ages).

Topping it off is the parma school bus t-maxx body painted up in classic cheese-bus yellow.

The driver decal is a picture of my daughter wearing her favorite sunglasses, printed on clear decal paper.

I did build up a spare clod a while back for the wife, painted it candy pink, but sold it as she had no interest. I looked all over but can't find the pictures.

A couple of years ago my son and I found a falcon at a local garage sale. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=10620&id=34 We fixed it up for a runner. ulimately he broke it and spare parts were not easy to find. I was able to buy a second hand associated T3 from a local hobby shop employee for a great price. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...id=21602&sid=34 I went with all new radio gear and ESC. Its super reliable, handles killer and parts can be bought from local shops.
