XRAY - Model racing cars

I just noticed the poll says "Which ELECTRIC car do you want next?"

In that case, I take back my vote for 1/8 on road and give to:
1/12 Pan Car
1/10 4wd Buggy
1/10 4wd Truck (i think better than buggy)

The only way to do a 1/8 on road is NITRO.
There's no racing class for 1/8 electric.
And Xray is primarily a racing brand looking to make it's mark through TQ's, 1st place cups, and "car of the year" awards.

Mainstream electric power packages aren't ready to pull a 1/8 like Nitro can. If you have to be "Mickey Mouse-ing" a power set-up with helicopter motors and airplane speed controls for an Xray car....that brings down the Xray brand too. Besides you can do it yourself with a nitro kit converted.

These upcoming production years are better suited for growing and already competitive racing classes. Like:
1/10 4wd electric buggy
1/12 electric pan car
1/8 nitro on-road


Electric is still better suited to the lighter classes that current mainstream brushless systems can support.[/b]

I suggest you read through the thread before you discount 8th scale electric so easily. With todays technology and the right design I am fully convinced an 8th scale electric class can be started that will be faster than 8th scale GP per current rules.

I would be for a new 1/12 car.

I would race electric anything, but if it is 1:8 IC then someone has to make nitro deodorant. Because of of the best parts of going fast in IC is the sounds and smells. What would F1 be without those? I don't think 1:8 should go without then either.

PS my son thinks the brushless 1:8 is very cool and that I am just to old javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

I would love to see a 4wd buggy that class is growing and all the other companies are making improvements or designing new ones Im a loyal xray owner and would love to repalce my xxx4 with a xray

4wd buggy! With the quality of xray parts and their spring steel components.. This is a class where these qualities will really make a difference over other manufactures. And besides, the 1/10 4wd buggy class is the apex of high performance electric off road... And I think xray would easily be at the top of that class, too.

Well, thats just my opinion, anyway.
