This is a bit more lighthearted. But the thought occurred to me, and gave me enough of a giggle that I had to suggest it.
I've got two children, and have more than a bit of kid left in me (ask my wife).
A dumb/fun idea, would be to offer a Scout Traveler/Terra RC Crawler body. For those that don't know, there is already a licensed Scout RC Rock Crawler (has existed for a few years now). So it might not be too hard to offer a different body modeled after the prototypes, and get them out there/on the store.
Here is a version of the current one (there are actually 2 now. The Gen 8 scout II model here, and then a Gen9 that uses the Scout 800 body).
Imagine going to the trailhead, going camping in your Scout, and busting out a little 1/10 scale version to tootle around the campsite with your kiddo (or just do it yourself). It would be like "Scout Inception". Where my son can drive his Scout, while I drive the big one. Or (ahem) I can play with it while waiting years for the real one
.
Also, this would make the basis for a pretty excellent commercial/advertisement for Scout.
"Close up shots of the Scout, then interior. And then shots of a father and son as they share the joy of the trip to their remote camping location. Camera cuts to the outside as they unload/setup camp, and then the son gets out their scout and re-creates the experience, at scale. And then the narrator says something like 'this is how scouts are made' or 'like father like son'".
(or something).
