RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

definitely need a two speed for the 1/16 car too.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

our 1/14 comes with a 2 speed, i know, i wish my 1/16 had a 2 speed in it. I will suggest the 2 speed threaded clutch/pinion setup.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

maybe they could make a deal with OS and use their engines too. That alone would make people take a more serious look at them. I know it would bring up prices a bit but it would be worth it. Most people swap to an Os engine eventually anyway. Why not make money on it?

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

in china we have partnered with novarossi and go engines. We sell pretty much all of our rc''s with sh engines. We shall see what the future will bring but i feel big things will be coming from us in the near future.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

You know what I''m saying though. The first thing everyone asks is what''s a better engine for my car and 9 out of 10 times people say an OS something. As cheap as that 18cv-rx is it would be worth the extra 50 bucks. I''m not saying they are bad engines in them. It would just be cool to see the pro versions come with a pro engine.

Also is Himoto only cars and trucks or do they do planes and boats too. Any plans for it in the future? If so put me on the list...lol I know nothing about either but I would buy a himoto one just because of the good experiences with the vehicles.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

planes and boats will be coming soon, have to get the cars and stuff under control first but they are definately in the works. OS are great engines but some people dont like them, if you can believe that and wouldnt want them.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

Nice!!!! Can''t wait to see that. You''ll have to tell me when they do show up.

I was just thinking about the OS because of the redcat forum. It seems everytime someone asks what engine they got the 18cv-rx as a reply. I hear you though. It''s not the "best" engine, but really good.

How "in-the loop" are you? Do you think we can get them to make a prototype? I would like to see a vehicle with every upgrade available and the meanest engine they got. Does Novarossi make that .12 ninja? A prototype solid aluminum car, ceramic bearings and that .12 ninja.......imagine that... Most everything I own has at least $1000 into it. I would gladly pay that for a car that needs nothing. especially considering that''s the first thing I do. Go through every website around and find everything that can make it better. I''ve got hundreds of dollars in parts that have never been used and probably never will because I upgraded. Just a thought. If they can do it, I''m down.

Another thought would be carbon fiber everything. Arms, upper and lower chassis, shock towers, hubs, everything..... Stronger and lighter then aluminum. Gotta be the next step.....

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

hmmm..... maybe a belt driven vehicle too. less problems with shafts and burnt up gears.....

Sorry if I''m posting too much. Just thoughts I''ve had while driving and working on them.....

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

lol, i will forward your suggestion bro and tell the powers that be to come in and give this a read once in a while.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

ok... I made a list this time for possible improvements. Save more space anyways..lol

Sealed transmissions- less problems with rocks eating up gears
foam tires for on-road cars
optional one-way differentials- at least rears
2 speed for the 1/8 scale vehicles, but keep metal gears
aluminum chassis on electric models- even "cheapo''s" have them, why not?
And last but not least, maybe a tuning/set-up dvd for new drivers. The traxxas one showed me tons of stuff i didn''t know including the break-in. Great for new people! And think of the time it would save on forums..lol
maybe some more local retailers too. I would have been lost without the internet. The only brands I see in stores are Traxxas, Losi and HPI. If it wasn''t for the internet I would have never known about Himoto or Redcat. I live in Montana though, so there isn''t much around...lol Maybe it''s different in other places, but here there''s no way to get parts locally.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

actually I have been instrested in 1/8th racing and have done some research and talked to some people about it...alot of racers overseas have told me to get a go .21 5 port to race with....they say they are having really good luck with them and the compete with os navarossi..and all the big names...like everything else...just cause one is a big name its doesnt mean its better then the other

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

A name does make the difference though. If you don''t believe me look back to high-school. Everyone "had" to have Nike, Reebok and Adidas. Not because they were better then the wal-mart/k-mart cloths but because of the name. Same thing works with these. People will look at the Smartech magic wheel and say it''s a piece of crap then turn around and say the T-maxx is great. If you take a look at them they are identical though. Makes no sense, but it happens. We already know most are very similar and work the same but people want "bragging rights". People feel "safe" going with a name brand. It makes them fit in...lol

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

I would like to see you sell roller cars and truck so we could put in are own engines and radio gear.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

excelent suggestion, we do have the rxb-1, its a 1/8 pro version buggy, race ready with no radio equipment or engine.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

Open up the chat room :D And one good suggestion is Kupplers words GO BIG OR GO HOME !!!!!

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

How about metal drive pinions/differential gears for the 1/16th electric buggy? There are a bunch of us who NEED them for lipo and brushless!!

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

very good ideas, keep them coming :)

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

They need them for the 1/16 on-road nitro car too.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

how about some titanium set-screws for the drive cups? I'm tired of them stripping...lol

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

ok...last one..lol

how about ceramic clutch pads? I think they wouldn't burn up as fast as the plastic ones and wouldn't melt to the bell like aluminum when under lots of stress.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

lol, keep them coming bro

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

himoto needs to make a mega p electric

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

How about offering reverse on your trucks / cars, not a huge deal, just nice to have!!!

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

most trucks that have reverse end up having problems and most people do a forward only conversion.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

how about rollcages for the mega p series?

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

I have to agree. The reverse in my revo sucked. Even after setting it up right it would take a long time to even think about swapping into reverse and then you had to hope it would go back into drive..lol With very little driver ability the reverse is unnecessary "fu-fu".

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

the megap buggy comes with a rollcage.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

is there a rollcage in the works for the mega p 1/8 trucks?

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

not as of yet

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

If you need strong braking power like a real car, try the MPO-09 special brake pad:

http://www.himotoracing.com/index.ph...t=upgrade_part

Its awesome since the material we use is the same using in the read car brake.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

I really Like the BUG (Volkswagen) body that comes with the 1/14 car.
I think a lot of folks would buy THAT body if it came in 1/10 or even 1/8 size.
I would definitely buy one for my 1/8 MegaP Truck!!!!

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

We need to Post a Link to a Good Tuning Video or a Nice (not TOO long ) Basic Tuning Guide.
Thats the one thing that All new Folks will NEED to Know.......
Maybe we can get a FAQ STICKY and post it there where everyone will be Sure to see it......

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

Center differential Mod for all the 1/10's..............2 speeds are like wearing a rain coat in July when its over 100 degrees [&:]

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

On your website, I would like to see video's of the products but of them being driven in open fields instead of on tracks. I think a lot of people buy more for just the bashing then racing.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

Thats a good idea.May be we should make one for 1/10 and also 1/8 scale truck

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

just one more suggestion how about different style rims and different style tries for the whole mega p series? i like the tires on my mxt 2-s but i would also like to get some tires for it that aren't quite as aggressive. just an idea for more parts loland different style bodies as well.

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

We do have the needle shape tires for this 1/8 truck also!

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

A RTR big block mxt-2s:D

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

We are working on it already!

RE: Himoto suggestion box
 

Awesome! Collen I can tell your company can go no where but up now. your doing a great thing
