Kyosho has an offering that looks pretty cool, supposed to be a June 08 release, buggy type platform, rear dig and winching on the truck (at least in what we have seen so far). Cant reveal what I know about the one truck I know for sure about (sorry been sworn to secretcy). If you surf around on RCC some of the "beens" have been "spilled". Pti is coming out with a "Pro" version of the GRC ,rumor is better axles and more of a truck on par with the axial. Of course there is the new axial coming out, many of the same basic components but allot of the green aluminum is replaced with Plastic and supposedly open diffs to make it have "bashability" rather than a straight on crawler.
The sport is growing leaps and bounds, you will see great growth over the next year or so. Its nice that hobby shops are starting to get involved now and realize how much the sport is growing. The HT comp was huge as far as a comp in our area goes and I only expect the next 1 to be larger.
Ive been out today looking for outdoor comp spots (I think I may have frost bite on my ears) If I can get permission from the town to do a little clean up I may have found a good outdoor location but, its about 2hrs from Chicago. Im also hopeful that Chicago Underground will set something up. They have a LARGE indoor facility and could easily accomidate a huge course.
