Well if he has the time then great, but do YOU have the time and ambition to tinker? That is the real question. It does you no good to let someone else work on your stuff. Thats part of the fun with rc's. Its just about driving them, its about the journey to get them to that point that gives you the ultimate feeling of satisfaction. Its one thing to work on your kids car to get him back on track, but eventually it'll be up to you to take care of it. Expecially if you are 15, you should have a working knowledge of your own vehicle by this point. If not then just don't be opposed to learning and realize that someday very soon you'll need to do your own maintenence. I bet it would make your dad proud if one day you told him you rebuilt your own rc or fixed whatever part broke the last time you had it out
