-Will they still make NiMH and NiCD batteries?
Probbly not. Battery tech is (slowly) rising. WIth the new interest in Hybrid/Electric cars around the world, new battery technologies will undoubtedly arise tht beat out NIMH in every aspect. (weight/seize/capacity/price)
-Will everything be lipo, li-ion, or something we haven't even heard of yet that is 50C capable with capacity measured in Ah instead of mAh?
Probably something that we haven't heard of yet. NICD used to be the only real battery for RC, now we have NIMH and LiPo, so later on I think we will have some sort of better all around battery.
-Will anything use brushed motors anymore?
I doubt it.
-What will the HV controller specs be like? 20s/200A? It seems there would need to be a limit on voltage at some point due to weight/size concerns, unless the new super-batteries are SHV in a small, light package.
I don't the the voltage will increase too much, but I'm sure that the amps will. Reason is because once voltage gets high enough, it becomes extremely dangerous as electricity ill start conducting through many odd things... like your skin. (not good)
-What will the top speed record be?
I'm going to say, for 1/8th scale stuff, that it will be around 300 MPH
-Will nitro go the way of the do-do due to cost?
I don't think so, but I think that 2 strokes will completely die out because of polution. 4 strokes (or another sort of engine maybe?) will take over.

What I think is going to happen, is that our transmitters are actually going to be somewhat like mini laptops (the way computer tech is going..) and they will have a wireless link to our RC. The screen(s) on our transmitter will allow us to see temperatures, time, altitude, angle, speed, motor speed, amp draw, mah used/left (etc etc) and any broken or weak parts on the vehicle. It will also display the weather conditions and alert you if the weather is going to change so you should head in. It will have a link to the internet (or future equivalent) which means that it will have parts lists and the like. When a part is broken, the transmitter will know which one, and you can order it right there on the spot with your remote. You could also use the remote to wirelessly change the settings on the vehicle.

Haha. I just thought way too much about this.
