Breaking News - Team Associated .... ???

[atom3624]

I could insert loads of links, but the rumour mill is rife with talk of T AE entering into the LargeScale fray.
Not certain of scale nor type - probably SC, so may be SC5 or SC6.

Anyone able to add anything to this?

I want a MonsterJam truck - any of the famous ones - in '1/6' scale. Larger could be difficult to handle.
(Bear in mind the FG MT is closer to 1/8 actual ....)

doubt they go with a SC, they will wanna grab an area of the largescale offroad market which aint dominated by the likes of:
HPI (Baja)
Losi (SC)
FG (MT)
So guess that leaves buggy & associated know there stuff when it comes to buggys i guess so id put my dollar that *if* they are gunna enter the largescale market, it be with a buggy!

I know theres already some decent buggys incl the MCD (which imo is WAY over priced) & The Elcon Cleon which again is expensive & so are parts. So to alot of people these are out of reach due to the cost. But if associated came up with a decent buggy for a reasonable price then they will prb dominate that side of the market?

Am I the only one who finds buggys boring?
They may be the most competent at covering rough ground, but there's little competitive in the 1:1 world.
MT - Monster Jam.
F1 - Obvious!
Touring - BTCC / WTCC.
DTM - Obvious, but doubt an American manufacturer would go DTM.
Rally - WRC.

A competitive chassis to take on FG et al in the 1:5 on/off-road touring car / rally car would be really nice.
Seems MCD have gone quiet, and certainly not marketing current actual bodies - Mini, DS3, Fiesta.

I still await 'official LargeScale Monster Jam' trucks - that would be nice.

Perhaps they're going for LargeScale crawlers?
