From memory (very fragile) ;) Jamie Booth's RC10 was short wheel base. Drilled back on the nose plate and cut off the original 3 holes. The RC10 in 2 euros.JPG is definately SWB, I cant tell in the picture you posted, also it would have had the wide front axles which most UK RC10's of the time had.
There is a very good example of the modified RC10 that was run by the team drivers here http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=19561
There you go! Thanks Terry.
SWB, wide axles, chassis all cut up...

Thats what mine looked like in 1987...
I wonder how the SWB would behave on a modern track? I can see it going around corners well on astro, but going over all the jumps perhaps NO!
I raced my rere worlds this last weekend, first race in 27 years. I was last.

Anyhow in stock length it is 1/2" shorter than a B5.
I need to learn how to do the jumps!
