Racing General Information

Racing General Information

Rasing at RC Addict is a fun, friendly environment. Our goal is to help you kick back and relax for a day of racing and enjoyment. Our classes have loose rules that allow you to tinker with your car without fear of not being able to race or missing out on the tuning and upgrading we all love to do.

STOCK-ISH CLASS - Our "Stock-ish" classes typically require the use of the 2s Lipo Max and the motor and chassis that came with the RTR or kit car you are running. Beyond that, the world is your oyster. Tune upgrade and swap parts and electronics as you see fit.

Once we reach a level that merits a more restrictive class or have a special event with specific classes, we will publish those rules.

Notice: If there is a Race Schedualed, the mini indoor crawler course will be closed until the race event is concluded. If there is a mini crawler comp scheduled, the race track will be closed for the day.     Events Page - For Schedual

Track Status - Timing System Working, Open Practice Available (as of 31OCT)
The kits and parts in this collection are the classes we race @ RC Addict. If you want to race with us, you can use these items to order the necessary equipment. This is just the starting list for racing. We will add more information as we grow.
