Sparky enjoys novel experiences.  Well, I think he does, who knows?  He still runs like mad when we play “Chase the Moose” with the Maxx.  For all I know, he thinks Mr. Moose is being kidnapped.  With Winter coming, we need an alternative.  In snow, the Maxx breaks traction, spins around and is no challenge.  Sparky grabs Mr. Moose, and drags the RC car back to the deck.  On wet grass, we are evenly matched.

I found a 25% off Black Friday deal for an Axial Deadbolt.  It’s a 1/24th scale RC rock crawler.  For $100, it’s pretty nice for a house car.  The game is to hector Sparky as he tries to evade it.  Following the car around the house was awkward, so I put a camera on the Deadbolt and drove it FPV.

Sparky isn’t afraid of the Deadbolt, but doesn’t like when it comes toward him.  Since Sparky is much faster, I have to use strategy to try to heard him into a corner.

Sparky obviously knows something is up when he saw the camera.  On my first attempt, the Deadbolt hit the camera, so I moved into the solarium.

Most of the time, Sparky’s tail is wagging, so he is entertained.  When his tail is horizontal and still, he is on alert.  When he looks at me or comes over, he is telling me that he is in over his head.
