Imaginations running wild with no respect for others is what this thread has become. What ever the platform looks like, lets hope they don't run out of parts like they usually do every year.

Dont know who makes this layout, but its begging to get a little more r&d. Centerline shaft, center diff, laydown shocks...

Im thinking shorty pack down the center would be perfect.

Tamiya F201, I got one.

Shorty won't work centered down the chassis.

Shaft or belt, it's about time HPI came out with a new chassis. Hopefully it will be competitive with the rest of the bunch.

The TCXX is still a perfectly competitive chassis. If the pro5 cannot best that in lap times, it questions the meaning of its existence. Still waiting on pics...

My TCXX is capable of beating any other chassis on the carpet.

I guess thats why its the most prevelant out there with all of its prestigious indoor titles hanging from the wall...

Its not that the TCXX is a bad car, but the last 2 years have been not so great for HB is terms of driver or parts support.

Let the rumor mill keep churning!

....I heard that the new chassis would be made of eco-friendly recycled paper products for lightweight and extra flex...

Also that it would be assembled by hot bikini models....all wearing hot bikinis...
