Worst car you've raced.....
Thought this could be interesting, can't expect everyone to be completely honest if they're sponsored etc, but let's see what you all think the worst car is you've had to drive in the last say... 15 years?
For me i had a couple of bad experiences, one being the RC10 Worlds Car in around 1994 - This was my first 2wd car, and by the time i got it the Losi XX was king of the bumpy grass tracks and made the RC10 seem so out-dated it was a pig to drive on bumpy tracks and i really didn't like it! 2nd up i think had to be the Yokomo MX-4 - I don't think i could ever say i enjoyed racing that car, it was just so heavy and no matter what we all tried, we just couldn't seem to get a good set-up! The prototype cars were certainly a lot better but the production model was so hard to get right. Anyone have any other cars they've really just not got on with?

original XXX4, it was just toss to drive and didn't go over bumps. I ended up switching to my B4 at a 4WD regional and went faster.

Losi BK2
was hoping for so much, but all it was was a wheelie monster and push machine. I have had some very good times with Losi cars, but the BK2 not exactly dialled on UK tracks

Rather suprisingly to most of you is my B4, i just couldn't get running well with it, i even tried a new kit to little avail. I loved my B3 though.
2nd is also the MX4, although it was neigh on impossible to crash it was also impossible to get a fast setup on it, worked well on dirt though....

4wd - Yokomo YZ10 (couldn't get the bastard to steer, and i HATE that!)
2wd - Traxxas TRX3 - the hardest car in the world to set up. It'd be ok one week at a track, and could go to the same track the week after and it'd be wank. Pissed me off Close second for 2wd would be the Top Models Hybrid!! sorry for swearing so much, but this is bringing back some haunting memories

Haha, loving this thread. Should it be a 'which car have you raced for the least amount of time' thread

I think this would be a very hard thing to quantify. I mean unless you gave a car a good running it would be very hard to state that it was the worst you had ever driven. I mean if you put a totally off the wall set-up on your favourite car you could do a few laps and they claim it's the worst car you've ever driven.
I dont really have any that would stand head and shoulders above the rest, I've drive a BJ4 a few times and it was probably one of the hardest cars i've driven but as it wasnt mine I never drove it enough to really make a decision on it. My XXX-4 G+ was probably my most problematic car, one week it would be awesome and I would be fighting for the lead, the next i'm a back runner in the B final.
