Fallen's Optic Kit

[Fallen]

I bought this kit for my son Samuel for Christmas. He's currently 6 years old. Out of all of my kids (I have 5) he's the only one who enjoys RC crawling, scale details and careful, realistic driving. So he got an H10 kit for Christmas. Everyone else got coal.



And he got the red, Eibach livery. Which I'm pretty thankful for. And he is excited about it. My Miller Motorsports truck will have a 1.9 wheeled partner now.

Here he is working on Bag A (the front axle). This will probably take us weeks to build, as he isn't skilled enough to move quickly through a build like this. But hopefully he will be in 10 years...

That's awesome congrats to your Crawling Bud .... an Optic is a great Xmas present and the lessons and memories learned through building it with you will be unforgettable for him... Congrats on being a good father to your kids man.

Thanks for the encouragement. I was lucky enough to have both, a bad example and a great example.

My dad was an alcoholic womanizer who left me when I was 5, and it fucked me. I spent decades being a broke dope user who believed the world was against me.

So I've learned what not to be.

Now I've seen God the father through Jesus, and have some sense of what a father should be.

I am super lucky.

If the path was easy and without the obstacles, struggles, lessons HE has put in our way his company will not be worthy. He is with you and with your family.

Awesome that you got this kit for your son. He will remember this gift and the father/son build forever.

Awesome that your son is into RC.

And awesome that he got the red Eibach!

Now teach me how to get my (hopefully someday) stepson into things with wheels like RC!!!

So cool! Great Christmas gift!

Looking forward to seeing how your son does building the kit. It’ll be a great learning experience that he’ll remember and take with him for years to come.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured that out. Out of my 5 kids, only one really likes RC cars. The rest don't.

One of my kids likes to surf with me. The rest don't.

Three of my kids like to ride motorcycles with me. The rest don't.

I've tried to get all of them into everything. I can't explain what made the ones choose what they did. I definitely tried too hard at times, and that didn't work.

People love what they love. You can't force it to happen and you also can't stop it once it does happen.
