Default Ever let someone drive your RC and end up wishing you hadnt?

i have kind of a funny story about this on my first racing day out in manassas, VA there was a father and son out there looking around, and let me tell you there are some crazys out in manassas who spend 1000's of dollars on there on road cars just for local racing and yet i had a BONE STOCK msx-3... the son came over to me since i was the only uncrazy there he asked to drive my car and i gladly let hem he did a slow lap and gave it back to me to my happy ness it was right on the turn to the straightaway another driver was coming up and i gunned it so we would drag down the straight but i forgot the wheels were still in turning position right after the boy had turned the corner and SMACK!!
oooouuugggghhhh theres allways a distinctive sound to your first crash up while his car was goin about 35-40mph mine was goin about 10 because i had just gunned it and i side swiped his car with the front right side the only thing broken on my car was the front arm on his both front and rear arms, front and rear shock tower, knuckles, and his body was WAY scratched up and cracked....... it was a reflex so id say repairs were about $40 to $50

i sould have let the new kid drive more
