slow and steady wins the race. like i said, my mini-t does 50mph, and a nitro does like 70-80, but i still owned it. show him that turning isnt all one control. there ir "proportions" in the speed an turning, to turn the wheel just as mutch as you think it needs. same with the speed, its not just on/off speed, there is over 400 steps of speed for most r/c cars. slowly pull the trigger to find your speed. and if you cant hit full speed in an area, DONT GUN IT, its not worth it. i should write some books on my hobbies.

EDIT: maybe i shoulden`t.
