I've raced my Worlds RC10 a few times over the last few months... its been a return for myself also, to off road racing.... so running an old car was a good excuse for my bad performance
I found my vintage car quite 'sketchy' on the high grip & bumpy astro turf tracks... but this is also a surface i'm not used to... the tracks I used to race on were mostly grass or a combination of surfaces.
Anyway, the last time I raced was on Hinckley's grass track at their last club meeting of the summer, the car was much more stable on this surface & actually handled really nicely, anyway I finished 3rd in the A final (IIRC I qualified 4th?) I was also holding a comfortable 2nd spot until I made a dumb mistake
In conclusion, it would seem that at club level a vintage racer can certainly hold its own... & in the case of my RC10 can be perfectly reliable... the gearbox internals in a B4 is pretty much the same as the Stealth on my Worlds car & has handled the 6.5 brushless motor i'm running without breakage.... so far touch wood
My only issue was continually bending back my wire holding on the rigid Yokomo wing, think i'll replace it for a more flexible lexan jobbie.
