Man...your daughter is getting a sick rig to start with! My 6 yr old would be jealous!
It's all a cover up man! ;) It's all in how you word it.. Lol..

It's also 2 mini's with one purpose.. Comp!

If I build it (and my "son's" sporty) as if I was going to comp with it, I Always have a backup! :)
This rig has been my baby, for many years now, as is my daughter..
It will make her happy and I'm happy cause it's running again...

So far..

Maybe some of the old timers will know about this motor!?

It's a custom, handwound, 27t motor, from motorman1600..

Had it for a few yrs now.. First time it's been mounted, since he built it for me..

Do that with your mini! [emoji12]


(Do I have to give it to my daughter!?) [emoji87] [emoji86] [emoji85]
 
Looks like your "back up" rig might become your #1!!! Your kinda making me want to build a 1.9 now. My daughter is 3 1/2 now and she actually loves rc so this might be a great way to get her going and I would have a rig for me to comp at the same time!! Win Win for everyone!!!! :lmao:

Win win win!!!!!!!!! Teach her young, have your "own" rig, for comps and it builds the 1.9 roster!

Yeeeaaahhhhh, I might just go back to using it... It feels Great on the rocks! N
 
My little bear, loves it!!! BTW..

Well, atleast when she opened it and played with it in the kitchen..
Hasn't touched it since.. :/

Buuutttttt, I have!!!!! A couple more packs thru it! Lmao....
 
as you are rebuilding it, all the effort, the good times, the memories of that time, come upon you in a rush.
pretty much what happens when we hear certain songs, the memories they invoke.


means you are human.
