according to a post dated 5/17/10 on their website, RC Car Action magazine editor Matt Higgins states "A major RC company is coming out with its first large scale vehicle very soon".

anyone know who or can take an educated guess? maybe losi or associated?

Maybe traxxas?? they already had a 5th scale once before maybe with the jump in larger scale interest, they'll jump back on the 5th scale bandwagon.

Hopefully it will be a 4WD that doesn't look like a colorful fruitloop rolling down the street?

So?It says its going to be released soon...That could be a week or a few months.

Miami Jato

I can bet, it's gonna be Traxxas...............

How can it be Traxxas if they already have had a large scale released before? In that case it will not be the "first large scale vehicle" that the company have made.

Its CEN and its a knock off piece of crap

I think it's Losi,and in that case[]

elven wizard

Who, who ? ( on the edge of my seat ) exciting news...Major manufacter ? wonder who ????[X(]

They already have a 1/5 scale

I was thinking the CEN also. But everyone knows about it already. I know that they were doing a review on the CEN though. Its a really good 1/5 scale from what Ive heard.

the CEN is an FS with a couple of minor changes...I talked to the guys on the traxxas stand at Nuremberg and they said they were watching the 5th scale market closely and were working on something but as mentioned they had a largescale already...so tamiya, ofna/hoboa, losi, team associated...who knows

If Kyosho or Tamiya made one, I bet it would be the duck's nuts....but might cost 1 x arm + 1 x leg?

a Kyosho GT5.... Of the Aston martin with full LED Lights and brake lights that work with brakes... Would be the sickest thing EVER created...
Or 1/5th scale of their Nitro Rally cars would be sick as well

I'd like to see a something with a layout like either the revo or preferably a proper 4x4 corr truck layout with a tube chassis, solid rear and independant front with big travel and silky smooth suspension[X(]...the buggy layout is getting old, even though it works well just about every largescale is based on it...either rear motor or mid mount and that's it.

it'd be nice to see something new...nutech are the only ones as yet to try a different chassis layout with the upcoming XT5 but a corr or revo setup would be better suited to track running I think

I heard it`s SONY, it`s gonna run at 1080p and in 3D!

And uses a universal remote!

Droool... That would be nice! Especially the Aston Martin. It would have been Astonishing

On2_n_On4

would love to see a kyosho 1/5....

but they already have before

Lars from Norway

Yeah, that is right On2_n_On4. So then Kyosho is eliminated from the major brands list... Remember back in '92 or 93' reading the Kyosho catalogue, MAN how i wanted this Lancia. I drooled over it almost everyday.

Ron E

that Lancia is cool... good find, never seen the Kyosho large scale before.

AlpineRoad

in a small article in their June issue (RC CarAction), they talk about how HPI almost single handedly ressurected the large scale market with their 5b/t and mention that companies are coming out of the woodwork now with large scale entries. they drop the names Losi and Associated and say IF those guys jump in, they'd certainly be raising the bar.

borley1863

Yeah in the states they ressurected it but in europe there were alot of FG`s out there, but they deffintly made a big impact.
