Friends dont let friends who are not rcers drive rc's.lol Really there are so many stories on here that start "So I let my friend drive my rc" and end "They crashed it" the same way. Its all fun and games until the rc gets smashed.lol Bottom line is you have a good time and can fix it and have fun another day.

That's my rule. You break something... you pay to have it fixed. Most of my friends and family are really careful because of that... [)]

I let an 8 year old drive my T-maxx for 10 tanks once, he never crahsed it and was always on the throttle. It depends on someones maturity level, I gave him a serious warning before giving him the remote. But yeah, this situation always ends up with a friend crashing your car[:@] At least you laughed about it, fix it up and get it back on the road[>:] Tom.
