2028 where will rc car racing be ?

[mobile chicane]

will computer games be so advanced that there wont be any point or will we all be driving hydrogen fuell cell driven hydrolic 4wd buggys with adaptive suspension ?

will there be direct link to your brain tx units ala ghost in the shell

Well if the post about the speed passion wireless power is correct we could be using silly powered motors and not worrying about cells, or we will be on 10,000mah cells of lithium or even another non metal.

These already exist! Maxamps do a 12,000mah LiPo!!!!!!!!

I think the RC cars of the future will hover!

That would be interesting! touring cars would be even less fun.

If i am still marshalling and refering for you guys I will need a hovercraft wheel chair.

Being honest .......
iv,e recently got back into having a real hobby here after spending way too much of my time playing online computer games.

There is nowt better than getting out there and competing against real people in the real world
...even with a df-03

With climate change, we'll either be racing in scorching sun in a UK desert (Woohoo) or under sea level. (and land value could become so high that its paid for per square mm)

Computer games are great, they just absorb so much time that we (I) forget to do real things we (I) should really be doing.... like eating.... so I hope they don't develop to be honest... LOL.

As for technology, we'll have frictionless bearings, ultra efficient running requiring 2mah (and therefore very lightweight) to run for 18days at a time..

Suspension will be via magnets, and reffing decisions will have video replay allowed.

do you think ib4200's will still be blowing up?

[Garry Driffill]

I dont think Batley outdoor track will be there at that date LOL.. its hardly ever dry !

Climate Change? What a load of crap lol. As much as I like the sound of a dessert in the UK and hot rc racing weather, the most likely scenario is the UK freezing over in an ice age. But it's all a load of tosh anyway, and nothing much will happen.

As for RC, it won't change too dramatically in the near future. Lithium cell technology will mean wireless power might not take off too quickly. Proper regenerative braking will be the next big thing for electric I predict.
