seriously i read on trc a few months back about these. it was pretty vague info that i discounted as bs. now that i read this stuff i get all squirmy inside. especially if they keep it semi compatable with the oldstyle.

Proportional steering

Post by lovedoctor »

Someone posted above that the "viper" doesn't have proportional steering. I don't know what viper that person was talking about, but I know RS sells a 1:43 Corvette that advertises proportional steering, plus, working directional signals and headlights from the remote!!! :eek:

It looks like a Kyoto Mini-Z. A mad cool sled, but six AA bats for the charging stand alone! Not to mention a $50 price tag. Man, I ain't made of money! See ya :-)

Props to the bigguns, :cool:

He was saying it's not true proportional, but had 8 step steering, there's difference between digital proportional, and just plain old proportial, and 8 steps sound more than proportional enough for me and my Zip Zaps. Let's just hope it's true.

I'm wondering if they're going to be taking up the extra space we use to dual cell to use a motor driven steering, or how else would they make it proportional? Maybe I should be stocking up on those batteries for the Laymans Dual cell. :???: :lol:

Namuna brings up a good point with the $30 point, but I think RS would be willing to make that mark, if they know they wont have to blow them out for $12.99 after christmas.

It'll be interesting to see if, and how this comes about, but if it does ,this hobby could get really serious then, for me anyways. ;)
