Default 2wd buggy future predictions anyone?

Do you think we will see mid-engined 2wd buggies like the x-6 and S-2 buggies being designed for future releases from associated, losi/horizon, and kyosho?

I was thinking we were due for a B5. The T5 was released recently and the B4 appears to be getting on a bit.

Another reason to hold off re-starting the hobby

Expecting pictures of the HB 2wd any day now. There is already mention of it on their website.

AE never takes risks with their designs. I don't see them changing their 2WD anytime soon unless
- they get beat at every major race by alternative designs (X-6, S2...)
- light lipo packs become race-legal and mainstream.

I don't have a clue for Tamiya and HB but they seem to like proven designs rather than innovative stuff.

VintageRacer : T5 Maybe you were refering to the TC5 (Touring car) ?

Didn't the B4 just win the worlds?
They might have a design on the go, but (as previously mentioned) can't see AE releasing a new car when the old one is still so good

You're right TC5 is what I meant. If I recall the magazine article correctly, AE changed from shaft to belt drive in this car so maybe they are open to changes? Or were they being beaten by belt drive cars?
