Reflecting on my inaugural RC drift competition held last weekend at Slide Labs indoor track in Central Florida, I present a detailed post-event technical breakdown and close-up inspection of my Team Associated DC10. The car was run in its as-delivered configuration—no modifications, cleaning, or adjustments post-event—and bears the authentic marks from a full day of qualifying and tandem battles on the polished concrete surface. This review provides an objective “straight-from-the-track” assessment of the DC10’s capabilities under competitive conditions.
