Harry,
There are already hundreds of these cars out there.
They’re all being “bashed” or used by Street Racers” because
no sanctioning body in America allows them to race. It’s funny; the most durable R/C chassis that can be driven on-road is the Buggy-based “Rally” cars.
They may not be as fast as a Motonica, Evolva, 960, MRX or Velox, but they don’t require an investment of $2K – 3K to get on the track and play.
They also don’t shatter into a million pieces in a serious crash. They based on Off-Road designs that take abuse that no On-Road car can take.
True 8th scale cars are the F1 of R/C racing, hands down. When people are ready to go “Big-Time” the F1s will be there.
You can’t expect “the Mainstream World” to be able to buy, build, drive and service them do you?
RC Pro Series will be sanctioning “Buggy-Based Rally Cars” at some of our 2008 On-Road racing season along with our “traditional” Nitro Sedan & 8th scale classes.
We realize the need for a more affordable yet exciting racing option to promote our sport. Anyone that has one of these cars will be welcome to race at the fine tracks that host our Series & Special event programs provided they show up.
