A simple re-release won't cut it. Todays cells and motors, even the milder stuff are much more than the early Cats were made for. They simply won't survive. What is needed is what Tamiya have done with the Buggy Champ - its not just a re-re Rough Rider, its been subtly re-engineered to look identical to the original, but perform more in line with 21st Century standards.
And quite honestly I doubt Schumacher will want to devote the time and money needed to do this to a 20 year old race car........

You're right they won't do that, Tamiya are a much bigger company and can afford the added costs Schumacher can't.
