In the basement of an average three bedroom ranch home in Webster Groves, Missouri at the bottom of the stairs sits a door. Behind that door lies the workshop of Bob Molenhour. Within the approximately one hundred twenty square feet and red and white checked floor is a modeler's dream shop.

Intermixed among the Three Stooges memorabilia and the assorted automotive posters and kitch are Bob's numerous trophies, badges, ribbons and dash plaques.

With names like “Stump Thumper” and “Trail Basher” you know you will have fun playing with the new Defiants 4x4s by Redwood Adventures.

Not since the 1980's have I had this kind of fun. Once turned on and let go the little four wheel drive vehicles just go and go. You can't stop 'em! With their knobby tires, they will climb just about anything. If they cannot cross over they have enough power to push the obstacle out of the way.
