That would make it easier. A lot of digital radios have that option. Im using an MX-3, which is a GREAT radio, but it doesnt have all those shnazzy features like a 3PK or something of that sort

What if you setup the throttle linkages so that it will not go to WOT? kind of like a throttle stop screw on an atv except here you can squeeze the trigger all the way and it will only go to a 1/4 or 1/2 throttle, and when she learns to control it a little better make it go faster by re-adjusting. Just a thought [sm=thumbup.gif]

I have a cen mt2 that I'm teaching my 5 yr old son to drive. I have a futaba radio that I just adjusted the endpoint on, to keep it somewhat slow. I've been slowly increasing it as he gets better. I would say it definately helps to have a digital radio that you can do that on for a child, but an adult shouldn't really need it much. It has multiple model memory so I have one saved for that and one saved for me.

Ah! It just hit me that I have that function on my MX-3. I just got a brand new MX-3 off of eBay for 60 bucks (the CEN Nemesis uses the MX-3 so they are going really cheap on eBay) so that is going to my girlfriend . I will just tone down the endpoint on the throttle servo.
