As for the 2wd buggy or truck question, I do know that there is already available options, this would be for a new version.

Status: offline 		What about those (1/6th?) Scale buggies and trucks you had back in the early/mid 90s with the dual battery and motor. A revisit now with brushless and lipo would make them shine these days where before they were underpowered (and hence the low sales). There are plenty of people and tracks for 1/8th and even more who purposely convert their 1/8th into brushless systems.

It would save you having to go back to the drawing board from scratch. You could update the platform. It really was a good idea, just a few years too early to catch on.

Otherwise, (well more really). 1/18th all the way.

Status: offline 		Thats an interesting idea.

I think I would like to see MRC bring back some of the vehicles they had. I really liked the Ironman truck, ran quite well as a basher vehicle.

Those worlds scales were awesome too! Especially the dunebuggy.

Status: offline 		Hey Guys,

Thanx for taking the time out to vote for what you would like to see next from MRC/ACADEMY. I would like to give it a few more weeks and let this poll continue. We have already started a new project, and from your polls... it looks like we are on the same wavelength. I personally would like to design a 1/18th scale truck in the future, (hint that, our current project is not 1/18th) there are many basher 1/18th scale vehicles and only 3 TRUE competition trucks out there. I want to make a full blown racetruck. I wanted to make it so that if you chose to run cells (NiCds,NiMH) initially, then switch over to lipos you wouldnt have to worry about the weight distribution going out of wack. (another hint) Also these little trucks are sooooo over powered there is quite a bit of torque steer that can occur, I would like to adress this as well. (hint) Well now that Ive given you all these hints, let me hear what you think of all this.

Hope to talk to you soon!
