RE: "Hey, can i drive that.."
eh... i thought that esc's get less less efficient if you run it at half throttle, or something, unless only some setups are like that....
as for dropping my radio, well the way i see it is that i compare it with mobile phones...people have been thru alot more excitement holding a phone to their ear loosely with one hand and they never drop it, as compared to firmly holding a controller with 2 hands... unless theyre panicking cuz the car's headed straight for them , or something, but its not a worry for me since my truck is so tiny nobody's gonna get nervous or too excited over it...
also, i make it a point to other people that they know what everything on the controller does before i hand it to them, and be extra specifc about the throttle being proportional and 'it works abit like a gun so if you push it forwards it makes the truck slow down'
