Default RC Cars

What new tech would you love to have on your RC car?

I like the idea of a F1 energy recovery system or even a self righting system to flip the car the correct way up.

Engine management so that it can continuously tune itself for optimal performance. There should be a usb interface as well and some simple software to allow you to remap it to whether you want it to generally run lean and push the boundaries or a little rich for safety, etc

I bought a Porsche GT3 RS at the local flea market for peanuts. Good fun but a bit of a handful as yet!

How about fuel injection and a turbo . No doubt someone will post up some crazy video on YouTube of a such vehicle

You can get superchargers and Nitrous for RC cars.

The Superchargers are pretty useless but the nitrous works.

I have always fancied doing Banger Racing with them, but with metal bodies rahter than the plastic versions that they used for RC Bangers, in fact sod it, real big old automatic barges with lashed up radio control like on Top Gear, imagine that for a Stag Night activity !
