What would you like to see?

http://lbspd.com/v-web/gallery/albums/album72/lexand.jpg

ABS
• Clear Windows?
• Painted Windows?
o Grey? (Current type)
o Dark Tint?
•Clear lenses with LED mount?

Lexand
• 0.015” thick? (standard slot car), Thicker?
• Mounted with holes in top, or how?
• Painted? Unpainted?

Die-Cast Aluminum
• Don’t laugh, even though I did at first, the best times on the 30 foot banked oval shown in the gallery are being turned in by modified cars with standard heavy die-cast bodies, aluminum would be lighter but still heavier than ABS.

Other Material?

Body Style? (i.e. Tuners, American Muscle, Euro-sport, Sport Car, Rally, NASCAR)

I would like to see a lot of the sports cars. Ex. Ferrari, Lambo, Lotus, etc. A good example would be min-z bodies, bodies similar to that.

I concur with the above post.
Mini-Z type bodies would be great.
As far as materials I would like ABS first and Lexan second only because
the ABS ones would mount right up with no modifications.
If Lexan was produced, I would think a slightly thicker material
would be better for durability and when mounted, it may hold its
shape better. I have seen those slot car bodies and they are
way too thin for my taste. Of course the ABS ones would be much
harder to tool but I think it would be worth it to keep the
"flavor" of epoch appealing to most.

So an abs body with clear tinted windows. That would be my first choice presented like a Kyosho Autoscale or 1/32 slot car body in a display case with wheels and tires. The extra tooling for the windows is indeed a factor though.

What type of sports car, the same old Ferrari/Lamborghini wedge type or something different?

I think that some "typical" wedge type cars would be fine, but I would really like to see concept cars, and a lot of the new sport cars that are not necessarily regular looking, ex. Aston Martial Vanquish, Lotus Elise, Pagina Zonda, etc.

lexan -

it's lighter... i think the car handles better and is much less sluggish...

yet more awsome info from LBRC!

i would love to get one of each of those!

i would prefer the abs mini-z style bodies. just easier to modify to fit rather than body posts or velcro for lexan but i'd be happy with either really ;)

Clear Windows? (Although i like the current windows as well)
Clear lenses with LED mount? (This one is VERY important to me)
Lexan If you can get both painted/unpainted that would be great!
Would love a Die Cast body, i need all the traction i can get!

Type of cars: Rally, American Muscle, Sports Cars

Your work is greatly appreciated!
