So much i could say but can't!!!

I will stick up for the YZ10 though, might have been hard work on the grippy stuff but it was awesome on smooth jumpy tracks like they have in the states.

Losi XX was the biggest leap in car performance to my mind. The XX4 is amazing now but it took about two years to get it properly up to speed in the UK.

I remember the first National it was at, but not the name

VERY small concrete curbs on the corners and they were snapping the front off the chassis and towers all over the place You have to give it credit though, still competitive today.

it would not last 4 minutes on the Uk grass tracks in mod in its first year - not through breakages, through dumping

Worst 4WD I had was a Lazer ZX-R, technically a superb car but never could quite get to grips with it.

Worst 2WD (technically) was the Mardave Cobra, but strangely I really got along with that one.

Odd that.

Didn't someone (im thinking Phil sleigh) used to have a cobra with an RC10 gearbox (or back end) on it?
I remember seeing it at Aylesbury make a nat A, looked awesome.

My worst ever car was the Predator International!!!! It really made me think about packing in...... Closely followed by the Yoke MX4.

Yokomo Works 91 - much hyped but complete bollocks. Half the lock of my beloved 1st Procat which I still regret selling 17 years later.

My worst one has to be the car I started with a Tamiya Topforce even in stock it would toss gears if you didn't modify the rear gear cover.

Other than that I had Associated 2wd's untill the X-6 arrived

Did a small stab at 4wd for one year again with a 2nd hand cat3000, but it was impossible to properly align the belts. So everyday it used a set of belts (sigh)

2WD Cougar 2000(?) - Couldn't get it out fo the boot without something falling off it!!!

Fav 2wd was the TRX3 actually, opposite of Kopite! I'd still run it if I could find spares!!

4wd worst - Aero! No matter how much adjusting I could not get to grips with it, every other car I've had (a good few, X5, S44, 501X, BX, Bmax) was better with a kit setup than I could get the Aero no matter what! Could well be me more than the car mind....

Losi XX, it broke if you drove it, it broke if you didn't put it in a fut lined box on the way to the meeting, and it broke, well, standing still.

I never got on with a B2 but would never say it was a bad car, just not my liking.

Worst car, but best memories when it worked, was my predator mark 1. Looked amazing at the time with its carbon chassis and like a F1 car on the track until it ate another gearbox, then another, then another

I didn't say it was a bad car for it's class, just it's on-road, therefore it is the worst I've ever driven
