General Track Rules
- Children 12 and under MUST be accompanied by an adult.
- Always use the proper frequency clip BEFORE turning on your transmitter.
- Please return your clip when done so others may have a chance to practice.
- You may true your tires in the designated area only. (not in the pits)
- For traction compound, please only use Niftech, or Jack The Gripper.
Race Rules
- No reverse allowed during racing.
- No yelling on the driver's stand. (Respect your marshals)
- Reckless driving will not be tolerated.
- Report frequency changes to the track director.
- In the event of a frequency conflict, the lower qualifier must change.
- When your race heat is called, you're expected to be ready. There is a 2 minute wait maximum. (An additional one minute grace period will be given if asked).
- You must have at least one number on your car. Available at the tech table. ($.25 for a sheet of 3) No tape numbers!
- If your car goes over a lane divider, wait for a marshal to set your car on the correct side or you will be assessed a one lap penalty.
- Hitting the throttle while your car is in the hands of a marshal will result in a 10 second penalty for that race.
- After racing, place your car / truck on the tech table and remove the house transponder.
- You must marshal after your race. Your car number is the same as your marshal position.
- If you can not marshal, you must find a substitute (tell director).
- Marshals must be alert (marshal the way you would want to be marshaled).
- Marshals may not work on cars or give them to drivers who are on the driver's stand. You should take disabled cars off of the track as soon as possible, but priority is given to cars still racing.
- A driver will not permit another driver to compete for him in a race.
Official Tamiya M Chassis Race Class Rules
- Any Tamiya M chassis. (M-01 through M-06).
- Unmolested Tamiya Silver Can motor only.
- Any speed controller.
- Any battery, 7.4 volts or less, that fits into the chassis without modification to the chassis or battery. Lipo batteries must be hard cased.
- Any wires, wire length, connectors heat sinks and fans are allowed.
- Any Tamiya upgrade. Or, if another company makes a part that does the same thing as the Tamiya upgrade, you can use that instead of the Tamiya part. If Tamiya doesn't make a similar upgrade, it is not legal. Example: Tamiya makes a very nice aluminum steering linkage that takes the slop out of the steering. It's expensive. 3-Racing also makes a similar upgrade. The 3-Racing part is legal. However, 3-Racing makes different gears for the M-Chassis that increases the gear ratio. Tamiya doesn't make a part like that so that would not be legal.
- Kit Gear Diffs only. Extra shims are ok and encouraged.
- Tires: M-Chassis slicks only Tamiya part number (53215). Most of the kits come with 60D radial tires that work well but are taller which makes the cars faster on the straight. Their height makes them not work well with some bodies so in an effort to keep the cars the same speed and keep the body options open, we will stick to these slicks. They are inexpensive, work well and last a long time. 'nuff said.
- Any body that you can make fit.
- There can only be 10 rules.
Official Tamiya TT-01 Race Class Rules
The following are approved but not required modifications:
- Tamiya CVA Super Mini Shocks (50746)
- Tamiya aluminum propeller shaft. (54026 for the E and 53620 for the old TT-01)
- Ball bearing.
- Any modification to the steering linkage. Any servo saver.
- TT-01s may use upgrade parts in place of parts that were upgraded in the TT-01E. I believe this includes the upper deck, steering uprights and steering linkage. If you know of other items that fit this category, please provide documentation.
- Any modification to wires and connectors. Fans and heat sinks are allowed.
- Tamiya metal motor mount. (53666).
Action will be taken for any violation of these rules.
Keep racing fun for everyone!
