LOl ok, i just got 5 mm ( i think) aluminum swing arms... and i was about 10 ft away from a curb.. and i was trying to flip the switch to make the sterring reverse.. and i accedently flipped the throttle reverse.. o ****! my car floored it and went straight into the curb.. then oyu wont belive the damage! i twisted the new swing arm about a quarter of a turn!!! it was crazy.. and just cause i didn't look witch switch i was flipping.

Yea, the same thing happened to me when it was one of my first times driving. Things didn't turn out as bad though because it just hit the curb, ramped up it, and rev'd in the grass, so I ran to it, and shut it off.

I have never let anyone drive any of my cars more then 35 mph.

I wasn't gonna I told the guy don't give it any gas, just enough to get it moving, just take it in circles. I explained to him how to control it, I let it move it while the engine was off. Sure enough, when I gave it to him he waited 5 seconds, floored it and forgot how to brake he said he was trying to turn...but the thing was going 45 mph, and you can't turn very sharp at that speed! Luckily it didn't flip though.

i let my nephew drive but i put this thing on the radio that only lets him go like 1/3 throttle.
he is only 9 and doesnt really understand all that involved with the nitro so i try and keep him slow.

sorta like a governor

Yeah if you can set the EPA on the throttle... it gets em every time!!

You know its wierd.

I've noticed a ver DIRECT connection between real car driving skills and R/C skills!

At the risk of sounding rash, I hope that is true with me!
