wolfdogstinkus 1876 Posted April 8, 2022 In contrast to the "re-release of your dreams thread", it's time to remove your rose tinted Turkish delight glasses and look towards the future designs.. Staying true to originality, I am calling for the original models in scales we never imagined before!!. A range of 1/4 scale original monster trucks big enough for kids to ride on but still made from a kit.. The wild mini 4wd monster trucks but fully proportional RC models instead of battery driven forward only. A range of true scale models suitable for RC equipment, back to your roots with a scale Volkswagen beetle with accurate scale suspension, engine and floorpans. A super tough range of 1/8 scale models of all our old favourites to compete with the likes of Traxxas and Arrma. A 1/8 lunchbox with thick lexan body and 6s lipo, capable of 50mph without tipping over.. lol I think I would buy any of the above. What's your dream future model?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_ve 1031 Posted April 8, 2022 A 1:8 Corvette ZR1 with the 1990 style would be the one for me. Love that wide curved look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted April 8, 2022 Top of my list would be a County forestry tractor in 1/10 scale. With realistic suspension and transmission. Designed for trails / crawling, definitely not another farm king. I mentioned this years ago on TC several times and Tamiya have completely ignored the hints, so I got fed up with waiting and have started building my own approximation: If I can manage this on my own I'm sure it's possible for them..... Also, as you're asking: Clod buster with TXT-1 wheels and hubs, and my servo on axle steering mod. It improves the handling and would add nothing to the cost of the kit. I'll even give them the dimensions for the bracket... 4wd lunch box with leaf springs, solid axles, and 4wd. Juggernaut 3 with Clod tires and shell, hi lift shocks, and 4 links on the front to give it some suspension articulation. And of course, no wish would be complete without a 1/10 6x6 2400 watt motor War Rig. However, I fear if tamiya mass produced this it would add to the worldwide ISO container shortage due to the size of the box: 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggular 4914 Posted April 8, 2022 Amphibious Schwimmwagen? It doesn't have to be 1/6 like Rochobby jeep. But it should be as big as CC-01. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikko85 3366 Posted April 8, 2022 Grasshopper, Hornet, Pumpkin, Clod etc, mark II. Same body and arts, but all new chassis. Means you don't need to decide between handling and classic style. Tamiya QD range on GF01 platform 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can come out with a new RC tank and tractor combo kit at the same time. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
