adding in hobby grade elecs and motors will only drive the cost up and limit the market to those with rich parents or jobs......

the Gen1 chassis needed alot more tweaking then just the servo and board.
the whole chassis was wrong.
too hard to work on for a 12yr old and lets not forget about the rear suspension problem.

as far as the bodies go, dont you guys have enough choices of mustangs?
you want an SVT? slap some decals on the barricade car.

seriously, a garbage truck????
do you really think that a garbage truck is a marketable option??

the cars that i would like to see in a new gen would be cars that you dont see 50 of on a trip to the corner gas station.
guillardo was a good one.
veyron would be a huge seller.
maybe some mopar in there.(challenger R/T concept ftmfw)
they got the camaro so why not an 09 bird.
AMC eagle would be killer on a truck chassis
if they want another ford truck then the lgihtning would be the best option.

i would kill for a delorean shell.
maybe a VW "thing"(pink of course... )

our luck though, were going to get a cobalt,XB,G6,impreza,08 eclipse, harley F-150,and a **** aztek.

I put that in my wishlist. Thats a bad car

It was just a joke.... .
Ugh oh...

Chassis modifications may be too hard for 12YO's if they are in-experienced modders .

The garbage truck better have been a joke!! I added it to the list, just to see who else would support it.

...I'll be deleting it soon.

Yeah it was.
Another thing is the wires used, even if they still have crappy elecs and other stuff, they could atleast have better wires.

Preferably 20g silicon wire, soldered from the board to motor, and on the battery pack(s).

This way people don't have to hassle upgrading wires.

it's craptacular.....

my main problem with them is you see em everywhere.
im not into cars thjat everyone else has and that truck is nothing more then an f-150 in orange and black skin and fancy, $5000.oo emblems.

the truck is still as fast if not faster then the lighting plus the lighting only have a 5.0 supercharged

[bondo]

then why does ford call the lightning their fastest production truck to date?

arguments aside, niether truck can hold a candle to the SRT-10 Viper Ram.

now that would be a great Xmod.

[taiwanesekid05]

This would make a good Xmods:

the fastest truck thing is to sell them, definitely no argument over the srt10 fastest but most impractical truck ever made,

he sounds like hes not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, my old neibore bought a v10 excursion people asked how it was on gas he said "not bad if you take it easy on the throttle"

[bondo]

he makes enough that he can afford to be stupid.
personally i think he bought it just to flaunt status among the contractors out on the islands.
