Here are some other toys. I needed something to do in winter time. I got into the Remote Control. Toy Right? Not really. I invested about $8,000 in these Truck. The Ferrari was cheap; only $200.

When you bring the truck at the motocross track and make 25 feet long and 3 feet high jumps, you need a lot of spare parts.
