Fair play to you for going for it, but if you need people to just throw up ideas of what they want, surely you're going to need to go a fair distance to beat the quality of a standard out the box AE or Losi car?

How do you think you'll compete with the sort of budget these teams put into R&D, marketing and production?

I know the X-5 is good, but that to be fair was just two pretty good cars made into one..... not anything revolutionary as such.

I've just noticed a lot of people recently trying things - but can't help but be a bit pessimistic and say "Why would Losi/Associated not have tried that?" They've taken a good 10/15 years to get to where they are now, when you look at the old JRX and RC10 - the current cars are proper evolutions of those, that's how many years it's taken to get as good as they are now.......

I just can't see somone magically inventing something that's quicker than these well known cars without some seriously exciting new revolutionary technology (which i'm guessing you would already need to have the idea for?)
