1/10 Touring Car Class
This class is designed for 1/10 scale electric touring cars, offering a competitive yet accessible way to enjoy high-performance indoor racing. Touring cars are fast, agile, and perfect for our club’s carpet track. Drivers of all experience levels are welcome.
Car Examples
Touring cars typically use 4WD chassis like the XRAY X4, Awesomatix A800, or Schumacher Mi9. They're fitted with low-profile bodyshells and use racing slicks or mini pins depending on surface conditions.
