Tips on Taking RC Car Racing Classes

Video Transcript

"Robbie for expert village to talk about classes or the different designations of cars and drivers. Most tracks will try to run a novice class so if it's your first race, regardless of what type of vehicle you're driving, we'll try to put, if we get three or four novices, we'll all try to dump them in the same class so they can get out there and run with other first timers, takes some of the intimidation factor out of it. The way a race director such as myself or every other one that I've seen will do it is we'll break them up into like vehicles instead of necessarily drivers. There's different classes for each one. There's a eight scale buggy class, so everyone that shows up with a buggy that day obviously runs in that one. We run unlimited monster trucks, typically is a big turn out for us as well, very very fast growing class right now. Another big one particularly here in San Antonio is monster trucks or standard monster trucks which are your production trucks, Rebo, Savages, D-Max's that type of stuff, always a real good turn out for those. Gas trucks, typically not a whole lot of the ten scale gas trucks, then there's your various electric classes. So just buggies, trucks with stock motors in them, modified motors. Really a lot of it just kind of depends on what shows up that day. Eighteen scale also, here at our track we'll shorten the track up and allow the little eighteen scales to run as well. With just about any RC that you have you can show up at your local track and they'll do the best they can to put you in the best class for each particular car or whatever car you may have."
