Great to see the pics of your old car Dan..... you must be able to track it down & perhaps buy it back??
I agree with Nick.... I have massive respect for the RC10 drivers at the 93 Worlds at Basildon, Joel 'Magic' Johnson took TQ with the new XX which for me felt like such a more stable car which would have suited the very bumpy track well - from my brief experience driving my RC10 a couple of years ago I can echo Nick's findings of the car feeling twitchy & prone to catching bumps & jumps - Brian Kinwald did an amazing job to bring the Ali panned car home to victory that year
