2024-25 Winter Series

Classes

• Rookie
• SportsTC
• Frontie

Racing Format

• 2-leg finals, each counting as a separate championship round.

Prizes at the end of the series based on championship results. We aim to give prizes to everyone who does the minimum number of events (5 events).

Rookie Rules

Rules for this class are fairly open, intended 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, including Ready-To-Run (RTR) and race kits.
• 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.
• Any tyres are allowed. We have loads of good used tyres donated to the club that we give out for free, so don’t worry about buying tyres.

Sports TC Rules

SportsTC is the ideal progression from Rookie, aimed at the Tamiya TT02 and similar kits.

When starting out in Rookie it’s worth reading these rules, and aim to build a car that’s legal for SportsTC, so you can progress without any additional outlay.
