Pretty hard to go wrong with a 3 letter acronym. My short lived VW engine building service was Conklin Performance and Engineering, or CPE. Your last names starts with an E, right? You could go with something like E****** Performance and Racing, EPR, or EP Racing. Or E****** Engineered Racing Products, which could be E^2 (E squared) Racing Products. There are countless cool sounding combinations and if you have your last name in there the likelihood of it being taken is pretty slim.

Make sure the domain name is available first before you settle on something.

Actually that is not that important because this question would only be answered in the eyes of the beholder.

For example you could say an aluminum bulkhead is better than stock...others would disagree.

I have an item for the TLR 22-4 I am working on that are a clear upgrade. Other items for the AE TC6.2 could go both directions. The B5 stuff you could argue it is better but simply put the parts I am making offer an alternate way to build your car without destroying the performance or reliability.
Don't take it the wrong way, I'm saying that what makes them better would help determine what they're called. If they're primarily aesthetic upgrades, maybe the name should imply that.

Just for info, there is already a CPE in RC, Crawford Performance Engineering, he's a member at Clodtalk who makes Clod and MT related items.

Other possible options:

Master Performance Parts
Omni Solutions - Omni = many. You could also add any number of qualifiers such as RC, Performance, Racing, etc., e.g., Omni Performance Solutions.

Another tact you could take is to make a list with several columns. In the first column put name kind of words, such as "Omni, Pinnacle, Super Duper" . . . In the next column descriptors, such as "racing, performance," etc. In the next column, more descriptors,such as "parts, ideas, creations," even if they duplicate the first column. Then, mix and match the words from the columns to come up with different combinations you like.

Some people find Panabee helpful.

The thesauruscan also be your best friend to come up with better descriptors and such.

Don't be afraid to use terms that imply either the RC world or speed, performance, or skill, such as Red Line, Top Gear (taken, of course), Nitro, A-Main, etc.

I wasn't suggesting he use "CPE," that was my old company :wink:

I know, but just in case a CPE acronym did come up, it should be known there is already one out there, active in the market.

One more thought just came to mind. Go to Namecheap.com to see if a name is available for a website. For instance, if you wanted to use rc10talk as your business name, you'd do a search and find that it's already being used. If you are planning to do an online business, then you might want to try to register the company name as the same web address, makes for easier finding when people go looking.
