Racing Format
- Practice
- 3 rounds of qualifying (round-by-round, best 2 to count).
- Lunch break
- 2-leg finals (each one counting as a separate championship score)
There will be prizes at the end of the series based on championship results. We try to give prizes to everyone who does the minimum number of events (6 events).
Rookie Class Rules
The rules for this class are fairly open, they are largely there to keep speeds sensible and reduce crash damage while learning the hobby.
- Suitable for all new racers, or those returning after a long break.
- Any 1/10 on-road electric car is allowed, including Ready-To-Run (RTR) and race kits.
- A Tamiya TT02 or FTX Banzai are the best place to start, as they are legal to progress to the next step of SportsTC.
- If you’ve raced before then maybe consider a good used TC like an Xray T4 or Schumacher Mi8, allowing you to progress to 17.5 TC.
- You can also run a Frontie (front wheel drive), so if that class looks appealing then try to go with a BRCA legal setup.
- Motors to be no faster than 17.5t brushless or 21t brushed (Tamiya Sports/Torque tuned are fine).
- 7.2v NiMh or 2S hard-case lipo batteries only. Lipos must be balance-charged in a lipo-safe bag.
SportsTC Rules
SportsTC is the ideal progression from Rookie, aimed at the Tamiya TT02, FTX Banzai and Carten T410 ARTR.
When starting out in Rookie it’s worth reading these rules, and buy a car that’s legal for this class, so you can progress without any additional outlay.
The full SportsTC Rules are here.
