Hi all, appreciate you being here.
Was just testing the water about racing for juniors. My nephew is 9yo and has shown an interest in cars and anything RC. Being the cool uncle I am, I think he would be very interested in racing.
Just wondering about the age range for juniors really. Is 9 too young? I`m kinda thinking its probably never too young as they seem to pick up things incredibly easily at his age. He`s an avid gamer so hand-eye co-ordination is no problem for him.
I would be willing to build him a car and support his racing if he was interested (I had a couple of tamiyas in my teens and now fly r/c aircraft so know a little about servos and radios etc).
Any info on introducing a junior would be most appreciated.
Thanks to all.
Richard.
