I would like to see the front and rear braces be straight and NOT curved. The curved braces store energy on compression and then release it back into the chassis making the car really hard to drive. Since going back to the torque rod and plastic brace on my TQ buggy I am going faster than ever. I would hope that the truggy would come with a pair of torque rods (perhaps a captured design) or straight aluminum braces. I would also suggest mounting the rear brace on the diff housing instead of the shock tower (the diff case already has holes made for this so doing it shouldn't be a big stretch to make a mount).
Also keep the standard size spur gears on the center diff and alter the overall gear ratio at the pinion and ring gear on the front/rear diffs. Make the CVD's available for the truck when it's released.
Make the arms thick and strong like the current TQ arms with long travel shocks and plenty of front and rear droop for some of the bumpy rough US tracks.
5x8 ball bearings in the diff plate instead of the cheap plastics bushings for the brake posts.
Lastly make the truck have a lot of steering throw out of the box (no grinding and such to get full throw).
Two words. Mud Guards.
Lastly keep the truck durable and light and it will be a hit with all the truggy racers.
