Jaybo maybe you could change your signature to

"If you're still in control you aren't on rubber yet"

BIG DAVE
I guess TAMIYA is the only one sucessful with the chassis layout you are right though but there was another chassis apart from the MR4TC that had that layout ill post some pics.

untill the lithium batteries are sorted out, then the TC's will change as the size of the battery is significantlly smaller (correct me if i'm wrong)

then the CG of the car will change resulting in different designs

i would be stoked if i just bought a pro 4....... is it going to become that you need a shaft drive and a belt drive car at your disposal???

eventually, i think old farts right, its gonna end up like 1/8th on road.....

the 1;8th scale dilema might be because there is only 2 players in the game. remember the bmi?! wow, different. sure every manufacturer might have a similar design, but look how manu models we had in 3 years. this is due to competition. also hong nor have a electric tourer that looks like the new hpi!

there's many ways to get there but everyone eventually crosses the same line

i'm pritty sure if manufacturers wanted to think WAAAAAAAAAAAY outside the square they could. how about a tourer that leans into a corner, like a bike, or having the servo in the centre standing up..or lying down... or a chassis designed around the principle of a obtuse triangle. ie no top deck just triangles from the edges of the chassis to the centre , THAT WOULD LOOK SICK!

i've always wondered why they don't come up with a cvd system with a sealed joint section like in real cars so the dust doesn't stick to the grease and wear it out

raise the roll centre above the centre of gravity and you will achieve this.

Default New cars

Cantona, i dont think it will. it may end up being what the driver prefers, but i gotta say that with all the top drivers using belts, is it realy worth staying with a shaft.
OR is shafts going to benifit 27T and maybe 19T!!
