    What products do you look forward to in 2010?

    Well, what are you looking forward to seeing?

    I'm hoping on seeing some replica wheels (Corvette, Mustang, Camaro, American Racing, ect). I sent emails to all the major manufacturers of wheels back in November, hopefully we see something that resembles real car wheels.

    Personally, I would prefer replicas of aftermarket wheels rather than stock auto manufacturers wheels. They all look too 'plain jane' to me.

    I would like to see more choices of aftermarket chassis. Perhaps something made from carbon fiber.

    I agree! However, I am dying to find a set of C5 Z06 RC wheels! A lot of the performance cars have really nice factory wheels, and thats what I was hinting at.

    Maybe we should contact Chip Foose and see if he can work something out......I'm sure they would cost a lot of money though

    What about features, accessories, tools, ect? I'm trying to think of things to email and request and cant really come up with anything that someone hasnt already started making. (that is within reason)

    I too would like to see aftermarket chassis, main reason being able to fit bigger batteries... maybe 50x50x160mm ... this way we would be able to fit 2x5s in parallel for max run times.

    Carbon nanotube batteries would also be nice.

    I'm tired of seeing my tires turn into pizza cutters on 6s WOT. How about some belted tires for a change

    - More shell choices like the slipstream and some newer style SUV bodies.
    - CVD that are actually good or another option for drive shafts.
    - A CF chassis that still resembles the stocker would be neat.
    Painting bodies good from far, but far from good

    - Little bit wider CF chassis with lower CG and have a bigger battery compartments.

    - Belted tires for on road and off road use (racing & bashing).

    I agree I would like to see a new chassis come out. It could be CF or Aluminum I don't care but it need to have a reasonable price.

    I would like to see a aluminium stock chassis, aluminium bulkheads or a aluminium full under skid, that would make the truck bulletproof . I hate snapping the bulkheads. i wonder if we might can make this :

    http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXSKD0&P=7

    to fit? i think i´m going for it.... had the hard core racing one on my Nitro revo. it was my saving of snapping bulkheads and bending chassis.

    Waterproof MMM, more bodies. Belted brushless power ready tires. 1/8 th scale drive train. EEStor to finally release their EESUs and adapt them to RC use so we can have as much power as we want in half the weight and size or even less and run with whatever gearing we want, at whatever speeds, for over an hour on a single charge, with no worries of anything puffing or catching fire and recharge in 1 minute or less and be totally water proof and run without a LVC with free pizza and soda for a year.

    There's more stuff I would like to see but I'm trying to be reasonnable.

He said that as soon as he can get them he would call me, So when he does I will post some pics and specs for you guys Unless you guys get them first

    ^^^^ What's the deal with UE anyway? It seems like every few months they are in and out of business. Is it just a real small operation and they need to close to produce parts or something?
    Some like R/C's that are fast, others like nitro

    lighter EZ start componets. Why cant they use different gearing and a smaller motor to reduce the size/weight of it?

    I could go for a 08'+ Subaru WRX sedan 200mm body. Tamiya does make one but is the STI hatchback in rally decal trim.

    As much as I love the STI performance I hate the hatchback. Can't wait until to downgrade myself to a regular 2010 WRX sedan. Hello 4 doors, a trunk, better ride, way cheaper insurance, and cheaper tires that last more than 15k miles. Also blue this time, black is soo hard to keep clean.
