Has anyone tried this class of racing? What do you think? I normally drift with my on road, but droppedgmc showed me this, there's more info on HP1's website. Looks like a lot of fun to me.

i believe that class allows any kind of spec's for racing, bringing the fun back to racing R/C competition.

We are starting this type of class here in Central Florida with possibly 3 different clubs. We are playing with the idea of having 3 or 4 different locations to race at and alternate between them each week. One in Palm Coast, Daytona, DeLand and possibly Orlando. I think it is going to be a great class to race in as it will not be about how much money you can spend, but actually how in touch with your car you are and how you drive it.
Nice level playing fields between everyone![sm=biggrin.gif]

Very sweet class, we've been running those here for a while. Definitely fun, plus they look real (no touring car paintjobs).
On large open tracks, I'd suggest something faster like a good 19T. we got bored of the 27T, but those should be good on smaller tracks.

I'd like to build the HPI cup racer, would this fit in that class of racing...or the new OFNA JL-10??? Basically a spec motor and run what ya brung?? this sounds like something we could start up here...i have a Reedy stockstar too....

Edit: what is the most common entry level TC class, so I can start asking around and getting an Idea of what type of setup I'm going to need to get..........
