Yes of course I let them drive my rc cars!
My radioshack ones
but my hobby grade ones? HECK NO! They think that its fun to do a destruction derby with it. After letting one of my friends take the sticks on my el camnino he drove it at top speed straight into the ditch and hit the cement part. Front of the body=to' up. When I get my rustler, they wont even be alowed to touch the truck, batteries, controller, charger, or even the paper that it came out of unless they have some experience with rc liek a couple of my friends do. My friend cj has a nitro powered truck that goes 50ish so Ill let him drive my rustler around. But almost anybody else. They can go drive my nikko truck [8D]
