The list for this was being put together well before your thread.

innovation

noun
1. a creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation [syn: invention]
2. the creation of something in the mind [syn: invention]
3. the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new; "she looked forward to her initiation as an adult"; "the foundation of a new scientific society" [syn: initiation]
The Scorpion is the result of lots of study and experimentation, and is the first mass produced crawler. Don't you think that fits the above definition?

other than the fact that its the first mass produced crawler, there is nothing special about it. It has helped expand this hobby, but from a tech standpoint, it doesn't use anything that we haven't seen before

That's why of got my vote for product of the year; not most innovative.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the PTI goliath GRC the first mass produced crawler. I had a GRC way before the ax-10 came out. I'm just curious. I know the Goliath isn't near the quality of the scorpion but it is still a good rig.

The Mamba Max is leading the electronics poll, however it's been around for quite some time. Shouldn't the year of 2007 electronics only pertain to items released in the year 2007? Also, shouldn't the year of 2007 electronics only pertain to crawler specific items? Not cross over items that effect all facets of RC?

With all the problems Novak is having with there ESC's they barely deserve an honorable mention (IMO).

Sort of, but it's way too fast even with a lathe motor, the cantilever suspension was being ditched from day one on shafties, especially here on RCC, the wheelbase is too short, let alone for the Imex tires supplied....etc. It was an attempt at a crawler/basher, but even at the time it lacked performance.

The AX10 brought a 10 times better/more competitive package first try, and it is a lot more crawler specific. It has a lot of innovative ideas quietly mixed into it. Not having to lock the diffs or tranny was a first, the monster bearings supporting the outer axles, ring gears, and tranny outputs are innovative IMO. The tranny is the smallest available that I've seen, just to name a couple.

On another note the "Tire of the year" vote is closer then I thought it would be.

Shouldn't the RC4WD R2D be in the innovative section? It was the first transmission to offer this feature. Everybody had to custom make their own dig, but now RC4WD came up with a way to mass produce them so anybody could have one. Isn't that innovative?
