How come Losi or Associated will not build a 1/8 buggy
I used to be a hardcore Team Associated guy but I started racing 1/8 scale and have to buy another brand (OFNA). Just wondering if they have ever considered it.
I would like to buy American whenever possible but thats hard to do in the world of injection molded plastic.

SPORTWERKS
Someone at my lhs said Sportwerks and Losi are the same, so they would have one in the Mayhem.
I know the engines are the same, diff cases, etc.....

Sportwerks and Losi are both distributed by Horizon Hobby but are not the same company. There has been rumors floating around about Losi releasing a 1/8th buggy and they are definetly bringing 1/8 tires and wheels to market so that's a good sign. We'll have to wait and see.

I have heard the same thing about Losi coming out with a buggy. The word is it will be out in 2006. As for AE who knows. I remember the day they were big in 8th scale onroad. You would think they would be doing some 8th scale racing.

I wish I had the resources to design and build a 1/8 buggy. I have some pretty good ideas.
If Losi built a 1/8 buggy that would break up some teams. haha

AE and TL already design a lot of R/Cs.Maybe they think 1/8 scale would be to competitive.
I really don't care if either co. designs an 1/8 scale,my 777 is awesome.
Plus we are not a Horizon dealer.

The only thing Horizon sells I use is Spektrum and Losi.

To be honest Im sick of driving Losi or AE. In electic offroad that is all to choose from. Its good to be about to have more then 2 picks and still be able to win.

The good thing I remember about racing an RC-10 was that you could always buy any part for it at any LHS. When there are 6 different kinds of cars racing, its hard to carry parts for all of them.
I would just like to see some big innovation in the 1/8 buggy scene.
