It would be nice to have programmable Bluetooth enabled on radios. You could get info dumped in your ear based on parameters you select.
I know buzzers and vibrations are nice which we already have but sometimes I find it hard to recognize them in a race. Who am I kidding I probably wouldn't hear the Bluetooth yelling in my ear that my motor is overheating til it smoked itself. Just a thought though. .

Touch screen radios would be a nightmare in offroad racing. Think about how many smears you get from just normal use on smart phones and tablets. Now couple that with dirt, nitro fuel, grease, and whatever else used in offroad rc. Your screen would be nearly impossible to see. Just my thought.

If you want to see better radio systems at cheaper prices the answer is simple, the process will be a bit more complicated. Get several million more folks involved with RC. Give manufacturers a big target to shoot at.

I understand the "want" for the next thing in line, but i cant help but think how damned good you young -uns have it..Especially when I think back to 1988 and the first NEW radio I bought ..Futaba magnum sport.had trims and D/R and that was IT..no EPA, no expo, just the basics..75mhz AM so it glitched like none other, a definite lag to the signal, and still cost me $100.00.
Be thankfull you have it so good
