Hope you are right
I have no problem with having a new/updated car for every season. I prefer this over to buying all kinds of "tuning options" every month. Usually I sell my year old car for 200 and add 200 to buy a new one every year. I think this is cheaper than replacing all the worn out parts - for sure it is if you look at xray spare parts prices...

The way I interpret that read is that they are kinda on a wait and see program, of course they are always testing, but it sounds to me like they don't want to make a big move until the rules settle down. All these changes to TC are making it difficult for the chassis manuf, not to mention hurting the class. IMO I don't think we will see a TC change from Xray till after the first of the year (that being said they will probably annoucne a new TC tomarrow )

In accordance with participants the electrical route car euro 07 in Montbrison, France, tests the team XRay a new car. This could not be photographed naturally. An eye-witness describes the car as follows:
' the car has longer wishbones, shorter absorbers, new divided upper deck, other supports, new belt in the back (dito Cyclone) and naturally a new chassis.'
Further details are at present not yet well-known.

It's been obvious the last few years that Xray is aggressively pushing the leading edge of TC. As a potential consumer, it gets exhausting after a while. It's like, you have $450 cash in hand, and wonder when do you spend it. Everything they come out with is sweeter then the last. My next ride will be Xray. Seeing their facility, truly amazing. Gotta respect that.

Everyone talks about the Li-Po factor. If XRay is designing a new chassis, what if it isn't for Li-Po. What if it is to hold 5 cell packs rather than six. It may allow more space/room for electronics. 5 cell is less stress on all of your components and just as fast on midsize and smaller tracks. Almost as fast on a large track that most E.P. cars rarely race on. More and more mod racers are running/switching over to 5 cells. This years Reedy Race Invitational Class ran 5 cells. I believe some of the mod class did also. If that were the case. Manufacturers may start making everything for 5 cell and all of our 6 cell stuff would be obsolete. 
P.S. Yea, yea I know "If" and "But" are the two biggest words in the world.

I have to disagree with ya....
Most guys running 5 cell are also running brushless. 5 cell in stock and 19T would be silly. My 13.5 hasn't gotten hotter than 145* and that is geared at 4.68FDR so with 5 cell I would have to gear at 2.4 which be impossible with the current TC layouts.
I think what you are going to be seeing come out of Xray is a 5 cell specific chassis, maybe some minor changes to where weight is located at.
For Lipo they would have to come up with a Losi'esck layout to really take advantage of that technology.
I am already running lipo with the 007 and it does just fine. Just have to add weight to the battery and the chassis to balance the car. Heck I had to add enough to balance the chassis left to right and front to rear. It drives just as good as if I was running Nimh, at least to me it does.

Will have to wait and see what comes out of RcAmerica...
