Default What do you want to see made?

As apart of a new company that plans on making lexan and aluminum hop-up parts for cars and eventually kits and conversion kits. I was wondering what do you guys want to see be made and what hop-ups would you buy?



Thank you,
Ethan

That is possible, and we will consider it.

Anything else?

lexan mud guards for the RC8 that mount on the a-arms like the ones that are out there for the losi buggies.

Something that I've seen built but not mass produced, as far as I know, is an adapter for the starter box so you can start multiple cars without changing the starter box around. It's nothing more than some L brackets that go through the chassis opening for the clutch. Instant alignment every time.

These are both very good ideas. Simple, yet innovative.

But anyways yah I would love options for that.

Aluminum plugs are possible. Hopefully they don't throw off the balance by the weight. Maybe some type of plastic can be trued to size.

A body painting stand with foam rubber at the contact points to hold the body securely in place, yet be easy to reposition it!
