Default The ultimate car

Just a thought, ive never seen a thread like this before,
Just supose in a perfect world.......What would your perfect 1/10 buggy be like?........or ultimately what would you like to see on your next buggy? realy max it out
eg....Cheap spares / sexy woven curvey carbon / perfect weight distribution / easy to work on / durability ....Etc.Etc
just a few examples.....But what do you want to see!?
Have fun with it....think outside the box
What would make a proper nice mega car?
Thanks
hope this will be a good thread

for a 10th scale car, I think the next big thing 'should' be durability.

after doing a bit of 8th scale, I can really see that the big turn-off for more poeple to come to 10th scale is that the cars are more fragile.

I have just about learned to stop cringing when my 8th scale car is tunbling 10 times end over end because I know it wont be broken.

Seriously i have always thought that on your speedo, if you held your stick to the braking position for longer than say 2 seconds ,it would emit a louder than the convensional speedo beep to alert marshalls of your where abouts....you see when drivers just shout MARSHALL!!!! all of the marshalls look every where except where they are sposed to ( trees/carpark/shoe laces...etc )if the cars had this alarm i think it would be easier for the marshalls to determined which direction to run/ locate the strickend car
and would be benificial to the other racers by not having their concentration interupted by other drivers shouting irately MARSHALL>>>MARSHALL.....OVER THERE....BEHIND YOU.....THE RED ONE....MARSHALL...OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with my alarm
the rostrum could be silent.

REMEMBER you heared it here first! Rebel rc is the name
hope this idea catches on
Good idea or not...? what do you reckon?

What about bodyshells that you could put in an etch a sketch type machine and doodle your own paint easily with no maskin stuff or smells / airbrush...and when you took them out that was permanent

Gettin a bit silly now!
