Sorry for the wait in-between videos, I haven't had the time and motivation to make a new video. Any new video ideas are welcome. I changed the format of the video description, if you want to know the music I used, you can find it in the description (click show more).
9125 that's awesome. Whatever gets here I guess. Sadly, in my case, I bought it for my son. Technically, every RC at Walmart's got me in the hobby because I had to find something I could replace parts on instead of buying whole cars.😂
For asphalt and grass, I'd recommend a 1/10 or 1/8 scale electric offroad buggy. They are nimble and quick on-road, but can take a big jump too. Something like an ARRMA Typhoon 3sBLX is definitely a fun buggy that handles well and can take a beating. Short course trucks (SCT) are very popular and they are great for a little rougher terrain like gravel roads and jump tracks. The one I show in the video isn't a good first timer, although it is cheap, there are no parts online. I'd recommend buying a hobby grade from an established brand so you have a warranty and other compatibility benefits. It takes a little research to find one you or your wife would like, but in my experience it is better to get something of good quality. Some good brands to check out are, Traxxas, Arrma, Losi, Team Associated, and Axial. In case you are interested, I have some other videos of my ARRMA Senton 3s BLX, which is almost the same as the typhoon, just with a different body and wheels. It's really up to you and your wife, but try to stay away from cheaper Chinese brands like WLToys, they offer great value but the electronics are most of the time garbage and not reliable past a year (also from past experience). Remember to start slow because some of the vehicles I was recommending are harder to control at top speed and it is easy to get throttle happy with them.

My wife has always wanted an awesome rc car. Any pointers or thoughts on one to buy for asphalt and grass?

@@nathanz602 thanks, very informative! And $320 doesn't seem tooooo bad...
@@thefunkinct8046 Well RC is one of those hobbies that you pay a lot upfront, but then just a little afterwards.
