On Road (touring car)

To race on road you will need a radio controlled 1/10th scale electric powered scale touring car. There are many on the market made by manufacturers such as Associated, Tamiya, Schumacher, Yokomo, Hot Bodies, HPI, Losi, Kyosho. Although they are all slightly different it is really down personal choice.

Our members will be happy to show you their cars to help you make your decision.

We run two different classes based on the motors :-

Stock or 27 Turn

In this class you can only use a 27 Turn motor with 24o fixed timing, we do allow ballraces to be fitted. These are widely available and are known as stock motors.

Open Class

In this class you run any turn motor you wish, though experience has shown one of the quickest is actually the 19 Turn Super Stock motor, again these are widely available.

The races are run for 5 minutes, you get 3 qualifying rounds which decide the final you race in. The finals are over 3 legs each of 5 minutes with your best two positions used to decide the overall finishing position.

Off Road (Buggy)

This is a new style of racing at CMCRC, again the cars used are 1/10th scale electric powered cars, either two wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.

For motors we run the same rules as those for the open class in touring cars.

Races are over 10 laps and you get 6 races during the day with your best 4 finishes used to determine your overall position.

MINI

Intended as a low cost fun class, the only cars allowed are the Tamiya M03 chassis. The rules are simple, the cars are raced as they come out of the box, the only modifications allowed are ballraces and electronic speed controllers (the newer kits include these as standard). Batteries up to 3000mah are allowed.

Races are for 5 minutes with 3 qualifying rounds and 3 legs to the finals, so 6 races altogether.
