The 1/10 Touring Car is by far the most popular. The realistic Sedan Touring Cars offer a lot of realism. These cars handle well utilizing the Four Wheel Drive (4WD) available. They are powered by .12 engines that scream like banshees and make more horsepower than most people can use. This is an excellent class with plenty of competition and realism for both beginners and experienced racers. |
 |
The 1/8 4WD Open Car can be over the top. It is, without a doubt, the fastest most awesome closed course car available. It starts with the Wedge Type Bodies that plant the wide tires to the track. Then Four Wheel Drive (4WD) is added for gripping acceleration and cornering speeds. A monster horse power .21 engine adds lots of noise and unlimited power. If you want excitement in the fast lane without a lot of rules this is the class for you. |
