So i have decided to keep my current girl around for a while, so i went ahead and bought her her own RC to tinker with. Since I've gotten more into on-road scene, and the thought of her behind the trigger of the Brushless tt-01 on 3s scares the hell out of me...... i got her an HPI-E10 artr. I jacked the old HPI ESC, reciever, and servo from the old Wheelie king that i had for one week. (if any of yall remember the LA G2G bash....... and imma teach her about it, and have her do all of the installation work on it. She said its "pretty" HAHA Sticker price was $99, but my boy at the LHS hooked me up with $79.

Right on, she should have fun with that! E10 is a great cheap way to get into drifting/on road imo. Such a nice guy lol.
 
I also like it cuz its very compatable with many aftermarket parts so i can teach her how to modd further down the line.
 
I wish my better half was half as interested in joining me in my hobby. You're pretty lucky bro.

Very Lucky indeed. If I came home with an RC for my wife... she would look at me like I just bought her a bowling ball with my name on it. Would go over about as well as swearing in church. That is really great that she is interested with you.... now there is only one thing for you left to do... Marry her now!!!!
 
Thanks guys, Yeah i was really happy when i got home and he had one for me. I was to worried to drive his other one b/c it went so fast and he put so much into it. -(his girl)
 
That is a very pretty car alpine :D

That HPI should be a good car for her to start with, pretty damn neat she wants to get into it with you. My girl doesn't mind them at all and enjoys watching my play with them, but doesn't have any interest in owning her own.

My girl doesn't even like to watch them run, she just likes to look at them and say "ooooh thats pretty". . .and i honestly think she is being sarcastic
