So to keep up....
  • X-Ray released the T3 as a revision to the T2'009.
  • Tamiya released the 416x as a revision to the 416WE
  • Yokomo released (awhile back) the BD-5 as the next platform after the BD.
  • Schumacher released the Mi4 and Mi4LP as the next platform after the Mi3 and Mi3.5
  • Corally released the Phi '09 as a revision to the Phi
  • Top Racing released the Photon as the next platform after the Scythe

What about....
  • Team Associated - TC5F & TC5R
  • Hot Bodies - Cyclone TC
  • Team Magic - E4 series
  • Robotronic - Avid

I have been hearing nasty rumors about no new AE Chassis in the works...I think with the size of the team and the talent on that team this would be a bad move for AE.

The TC3 lasted 10 years before the fabled TC4 almost sunk them.
The TC5 is a state of the art chassis that should last another decade

I was just kidding, but that was the first thing that popped into my head.

kevin heberts tc5 had some new bulkheads on it at the halloween classic. the camber links were attached to these bulkheads instead of the shock tower. like the 416. also hes been running with the motor mount moved inline with the left bulkhead. these changes are for better balance for lipo cause it moves everything more towards center. if they release another car it will probably just be a lipo version with the above changes put into production. kevins car works extremely well with these changes so that would be cool to see!!

the camberlink positions would be an easy upgrade to provide since you just replace the top half of the bulkhead.

Rick said no replacement for the TC5 anytime soon when the topic came up about a month ago.
