Inboard suspension
Orion V2 brushed motors
Personal transponders
Sensored brushless technology
Lipo batteries
2.4 ghz transmitters
Moulded tub chassis (now very common in off-road)
Fluid filled gear diffs in electric cars!

What next big innovation will be on our cars? Personally tyres really havent changed in the last 10-15 years or so....so maybe this could be it???

Ideas please!
mmm ttech didnt invent the tub chassis as it was out several years before. Still i agree they did take the design and update it to a rather tasty design.

Shocks, well i thought that someone had brought out some new designs with an extra bottle to the side of the shock body but didnt really hit it off.

I think that aero dynamics will be a big leap as none of the buggies, including the pred are not that aerodynamic. Most front towers equate to having a brick wall on the front of the car even with the hole in the middle of the tower and the tires must aid to the problem.
