laughed pretty much all the way through that video, Brilliant!!

He looks like he was having a whale of a time

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Awesome!
I was looking at picking up a golf trolley to rip to pieces to make a ride on for my 18month old. I think I like your way better

This is amazing Needs some drag style stabilisers out the back to stop it tipping.

Forgot all about this thread!

I quite fancy getting one for my nephew. The quick ones are pretty expensive though. Do you have a list of parts etc? Might have a go at building one

 

[FeFiDoh]

This is so awesome! You realise you are now the coolest dad in his school. Hope he turns up to hussle kids for their pink slips

 

[Rilot]

From one father to another, I'm inspired! Can't wait for my son to be old enough to steer one of those.

Cap doffed sir, cap doffed.

Oh yes. My son is sooooo getting one of those in a year or two.

 

[Lumeycom]

Awesome

 

[Tom_ed1987]

Excellent. You are one cool dad

 

[Jez]

Oh yes. My son is sooooo getting one of those in a year or two.

Ditto, amazing

Love it. My daughter would love something like this but I guess she would be too big for it now (Shes 7).

This is epic and will teach him a lot about control and balance as the wheels leave the ground. Certainly a good step if ever you wanted to take him racing

Perfect age for a 50cc motocross. I was 9 or 10 when I got my Yamaha TY80. And it's considerably larger and heavier (made from the mid 70s to mid 80s, they stopped making them the year I was born ) than the 50cc motocross stuff you can pick up these days.

 

[Overlag]

you rule as a dad!

 

[Fourstar]

Pure awesomeness!

WHat kind of LVC do you have for the batteries? Obviously don't want to run lipos too low.

Hi, if you look at the parts, it's actually pretty ridiculous. Most of the expensive bits I had spare from an RC car build that I put back to stock for my son to drive.

The original quad cost £40.
The motor and ESC cost £80
The heat sink cost £~7
The battery cost £25
The on/off > analogue > digital circuit cost about £15 to put together.
The pinion cost £8

It was ridiculous power to put through the gearbox. I've had to replace it, as if you don't let it run, it easily strips the plastic gears.

Doing it with just a brushed motor and decent nimh was still a decent upgrade.

All built into the SkyRC Toro ESC.
