Default Have we ever had it so good?

Is off-road blossoming or what?
  • Kyosho and Tamiya return
  • Yokomo running well
  • Losi XX4 still sharp
  • Hotbodies looking..uhh..hot
  • BJ4 strong as ever
  • Atomic Carbon looking promising
  • 4wd MKI-4 sounds a great idea
  • Academy
  • Pred X11 should be good
Off-road is looking healthy, and from what I can see the majority of the above are competitive. Happy days

It is looking good, but from my point of view the big name missing that truly belongs is SCHUMACHER - The Cat series of cars up to the 3000 were just so good, i still think on the right track the Cat 2000 EC would still be competitive (particularly smooth Grass) - it's a shame they're not about and not looking likely to make a return to Off Road soon

Yes, I agree about Schumacher. It's like the party's started but the main guest has yet to turn up . Still, I can't blame them - it must be damned difficult to make a decent business out of RC kits at this volume, especially now there's so much competition. I wonder if they'd consider re-releasing the CAT 2000 with a few tweaks to bring it up to date? They must have all the tooling still, and that's a lot of the up-front cost sorted.

Still, happy days for us Off Roaders. I'm especially looking forward to the Pred X11

Oops, yup - the X factory kit too. Jeezz - amazing range of competitors, it's never been so strong. Plus, in my opinion you could choose pretty much any from my list and do the business on the track.
