At 8 years old, Kaid Jaret Olson-Weston doesn't have a driver's license. Yet that hasn't stopped the third-grader from becoming the youngest mini-monster-truck driver in the United States.
During the week, Kaid attends Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale. On the weekends, he hits the road, performing around the country at monster-truck events and fairs.

But he always has to finish his homework first.
"I like doing donuts. I like going over the cars. My favorite is doing the wheelies. My truck has so much power," says Kaid Jaret, known as Kid KJ to his school-age fans and followers in the monster-truck scene.
His star has been rising, and he's become a media darling, thanks to his YouTube videos of exhibitions and roadshow stops across the country.
On Friday, he'll be featured in a segment on ABC's"20/20"newsmagazine. He also taped a children's TV game show in Los Angeles last week. He's become a pro at interviews, answering reporter's questions thoughtfully.
"I like standing straight up off the ground. It's the funnest part about monster trucks," the youngster says during a phone interview Thursday while on a break in Los Angeles.
An early interest in motors and outdoor sports drove Kaid's passion for monster trucks.
He was 3 years old when he attended his first monster-truck show at Sun Life Stadium.
"When he came back, he said, 'I want to be a monster-truck driver,' " recalls his father, Tod Weston, a Fort Lauderdale real estate lawyer who began exploring ways for his son to indulge in his new interest.
That led to a go-cart that looked like a monster truck when he was age 4. Still, that wasn't enough. Kaid tugged at his parents that he wanted something bigger.
"He was pretty much set on what he wanted to do," Weston says.
The parents commissioned a half-scale monster truck for him when he was 6 years old. He's been on the road performing his skills ever since.
His bright-blue-and-green truck is called Monster Bear. At 11 feet long, 7 feet high and weighing just under 3,000 pounds, it's half the size of a full-size monster truck, which is about 20 feet long, 13 feet high and 10,000 pounds.
"What he is driving is not considered a true monster truck. It's a mini version of a monster truck," says Marty Garza, communications director for the Monster Truck Racing Association. He noted that his industry group prohibits drivers under the age of 18 from performing in traditional monster-truck shows. "We are proud of him. He is doing a great job. Someday, he will move up to drive real monster trucks."
Kaid's exhibitions are not just fun and games. His truck was modified to fit his small frame, so it has a harness, neck restraints and a roll cage that keep him tightly strapped in. He also wears a fire suit.
His parents also have a remote ignition-interrupt system that can stop the truck during shows if something goes wrong. Kaid wears a headset that keeps him in constant communication with his parents.
"It's an extreme sport, but it's extremely safe. We made it safe," Weston says. "I see the passion in him. I see him doing what he loves, and I see him doing it well. It's a gleam from ear to ear."
The boy's monster success is a family affair. His father travels with him on the monster-truck circuit, and Weston is training other kids in monster-truck performing through his company Uncle Tod's Motorsports in Pompano Beach.
Kaid's mom, Nancy, also has her own monster truck, the Fancy Nancy. The family, including Kaid's younger brother Jake, trains on its farm in Ocala.
His parents aren't pressuring him to pursue this as a career. After all, he's only 8.
"If he decides that he wants to take a different path, it's up to him," Weston says.
But for now, all Kaid wants is to keep on monster-trucking.
"I like motor sports so much because it's what I have been doing all my life," Kaid says.
RC nitro monster trucks may very well be the fastest growing segment in the world of RC vehicles. The reason for the surge in popularity probably stems from the fact that RC nitro monster trucks have steadily improving in performance over the years. In fact, the latest models can actually outperform many RC cars.
RC nitro monster trucks can be bought either ready to run or in a kit that allows you to actually build it yourself. Both types are quality vehicles, built for strength and durability.
In fact, RC nitro monster trucks can handle an amazing amount of hard driving and even though they appear top-heavy and ready to roll over at any moment, the truth is that they rarely do roll over. This is because the wheels of RC nitro monster trucks are designed to provide a low center of gravity.
For many people, the appeal of RC nitro monster trucks is that they mirror the abilities of their real-life counterparts. The enjoyment of watching monster trucks comes from watching them ride roughshod over any kind of surface, including other vehicles. Well, RC nitro monster trucks can be let loose on the kinds of terrain that would leave other RC vehicles spinning their wheels. And, yes, if you ever get the opportunity, you can drive your RC nitro monster trucks right over your friends' little RC cars.
Although you might think that all RC nitro monster trucks are 4-wheel drive, you'd be mistaken. There are 2-wheel drive RC nitro monster trucks available, and even some that give you the option of switching back and forth. Just as in real life, the 4-wheel drive model allows for driving over areas that are rougher or steeper than the 2-wheel drive model could handle.
So why would anyone want 2-wheel drive RC nitro monster trucks then? Well, while the 4-wheel drive allows for more flexibility in where you can take it, the transmission system is also more sophisticated. Since engine maintenance is routinely required to keep any RC nitro vehicle running in peak condition, expect to spend more time and effort with a 4-wheel drive transmission.
But this drawback shouldn't be a deciding factor when choosing from among the various models of RC nitro monster trucks. Engine fine-tuning has never been easier for nitro RC vehicles. A bigger concern will probably be price. RC nitro monster trucks may have gotten their name from their appearance, but they could just as easily have earned it from the size of their prices.
Here's the skinny: don't expect to purchase one of these babies for less than $300. And, frankly, only expect that price from an older brother looking to sell his RC vehicle so he can raise money to buy a real vehicle. Seriously though, although unexpected bargains have been lucked into on eBay or by someone listing one for sale on a message board, brand new RC nitro monster trucks typically list for well over $400.
