tell them to simply stop annoying you or your packing it up, if they want to ride it, as it get on it and you drive them around, they have to be the biggest pack of idiots i'v ever heard of... and don't go letting them drive it unless you know they will pay for it if they break parts.

Try saying "no".

Why exactly would you have to say anything else?

you don't, if they get arcy they're not gonna be nice are they? if you say no the first time they should respect that, or tell them, give me $100 for the parts your likely to break, before i hand you the controller, that usually get people thinking, i've had a few people take up the offer though.

Just politely say "no".
You don't have to be mean or nasty, just firm.

Why do people automatically think that saying "no" is not nice?

I would say whatever you break thats what you pay for. Besides dont you think the stampede is a little small for them to ride.LOL!!!

Give them address to the LHS or online retailer and tell them you'd be happy to race around when they get thier own.

then tell them your freq so they get adifferent one. [X(]

You know with the XL5 you can put it into training mode. You can safely say yes when they want a turn. Hard to damage a stampede at 10-15 mph. Or just say sorry it cost too much for an inexperienced person to try out.
