This is mostly fantasy.....but I think it would be pretty awesome if they did.

Do you think it would sell??
I bet it would.....n I'm sure it would create huge hype....

I mean....how cool would that be....the gold tub(reinforced)...16mm gold shocks.....Heavy duty (wide) white arms...4wd ...etc etc...

That would be the coolest 1/8 scale in creation .....
I think they should think about this.

(The reason this came to mind is I want to get an 8th scale , n started thinking about the "what ifs")

Maybe something like this. RC-10T with skinny front team wheels, buggy body, and ofna wing. The truck nose gives the rc-10 chassis like an extra 1/2 inch of wheel base. Also make sure the rear arm mounts are in the back position. that ill give you another 1/4 inch of wheelbase too.

Ironic. I was just thinking the other day how cool the RC10 would be in 1\5 scale!

Would need lots more mods to make a 5th.

I always thought it would be cool to half-size one down to ~1/20

Then LOSI came out with theirs....

Meh

I was just watching something on a 1/5 scale race at a local track. It was only Losi and HPI buggies and short course trucks. No AE at all.

I would love to have SOME kind of 1/5 scale AE vehicle. I had an RC8e which was kind of cool because of the size but it just wasn't much fun bashing it so I sold it.

Those are whats in these days. My buddys been bugging me for a few years to get a Baja. The Losi 4wd is the hottest thing right now. If I remember correctly, like a year ago when the Losi 1/5 first came out they were in such demand they were selling for like $2200. and the retail is only like $1300. Everyone wants the Losi 1/5 because its 4wd. As the pendulum swings from the Hpi to the Losi, you can get a good Baja on the bay for like $400. but you gotta make sure it's a Baja and not a Rovan. I love the mini Losi. Mine is a Mini Baja truck with Mini Desert wheels and a couple mods. THE THING IS ISANE! I'm always looking for tires for it. There wern't any SC-10's in the short course?
