-Standard rubber mounted floating ESC mounts. Like the way servos mount with rubber blocks.

-better wire routing
-better BEC's in the ESC. Give me 8.4volts!

-NEW team drivers that actually test and improve their teams products. Hire someone that can actually BREAK an ESC during beta testing. When your team drivers didn't find any of the 100 crappy problems your new ESC has before shipping, maybe it's time for different team drivers. Seriously, is it really hard to find a racer that's killed every ESC on the market to test your stuff??? (I'll offer to blow up any ESC out there, send PM) Viper, Novak, Tekin, LRP have crappy beta testers. "Or tester had no problems at the ROAR Nats" Is not an excuse for dozens of local racers in my area with brand new $200 piles of CHARCOAL.

-Shock pistons with valves that open on rebound.


There's no need for supporting the rear of the motor. Just build a more robust motor. Billet motors like the Tekins seem to hold up best. Supporting the rear of the motor would mean we'd all have to run steel spur gears like Nitrobuggies. Gear mesh would change every time the chassis flexes, a plastic spur doesn't stand a chance if the rear of the motor gets flexed by the chassis. Floating motor setups work well, just need a robust motor can an correct chassis clearance. (My Xray XB9 E with a steel gear is smoother and quieter than my Tekno with a plastic spur)
