How about designing a CVT for nitro cars?

There an no rules (yet) for a automatic CVT, it is no 'gearbox', there is not more than '1 gear' and it is a technical innovation what would fit the high profile of the XRay company!

The reason I posted this item here in the Xray forum because I think Xray would be the company which loves technical challenges and not only focus on filling gaps in the market! XRay is thé most modern RC Car design and production facility in Europe and probably world wide, so when one company should be able to investigate the possibilities of a CVT in RC cars, then it would be Xray!

The rules are not there to promote advances in technology, they are there to create an equal and level playing field, giving no one an advantage. Although it would be nice to see new gearboxes come onto the market I don't see the rules changing anytime soon, but I could be wrong.

BMT had a 3 speed gearbox as also the current HPI Savage and Shumacher Fusion have. Once Collari made a car with a 4-speed gearbox.

Current engines do not need them, they already have a wide range power so 2 speeds is more than enough
