I'm thinking eye-sight, co-ordination etc?

Possibly opened a 'can of worms' but interested to hear peoples thoughts.

Thanks!
Well I was quite successful in the past, quit for 12 years and was persuaded back into it and admit its easier to work on as no brushed motors to balance and skim, better batteries so 15 minutes a pack compared to 5, so more time on prepping your car, yes you lose a bit but not as much as youd think, it comes back quite quickly and yes youll never get back what you lost but its fun so enjoy as you only live once
