RE: Do you ever let your friends or family members drive your r/c cars and trucks?
If it's someone that I know won't wreck it, I might offer up the TX for the XXX-T. I'll freely offer up(if they ask) the TX for my Mini-T(only lightly modded and not very fast) if they must try one of my RCs out. I never offer up the TX for my RC10GT, it has way to much power and I wreck it enough as it is without worrying about fixing someone else's damage to it. I feel that it's good to allow someone to drive my Mini-T because it's good for the hobby to let the uninitiated drive a slower one to let them decide wether or not they want to drop the money into one of their own.
