What to do? - 08.08.2006, 06:38 PM

I've built a small off road track in my backyard, and since I've spent a lot of time out there and working on my trucks.

Well, my wife now wants to try RC cars, having had a good time last year with my toy Bladerunner helicopter. I tried to get her to step up to my Blade CX dual rotor helicopter, but she wouldn't really try it because she is afraid I'll get mad if she crashes it. I wouldn't get mad about that, but I'm worried about turning her loose with my BL Emaxx. I'm afraid she'll panic and run it into a tree or me.

I also know that any fixing/wrenching on it will have to be done by me, so should I buy her her own car and teach her how to work on it, or just swallow it and let her try my Emaxx? I kinda wanted to try and do helicopters together and leave the cars as my own thing, but of course she wants to do everything together.

Do any of you do the cars/trucks with your SO or wife? Is it still fun? :010:


Please tell me that's not smoke I see!

i would totally go with buying her a nice begginer stadium truck example the new rustler 12t. helicopters are a bit hard to fly isn't it? now that you have a track you can both race together, and from there improve her truck:D

im not married sooo.....lol dunno

I would turn now the throttle EPA on your radio and let her have a go at the Maxx.

Depending on what you have.
I would probably get her own if it is pretty hopped up.
If close to stock with titans put smaller pinions on for slower speed and let her go.
The epa down is good but with a good set up you have to turn it way down.


Peace!
