MOTORS
540 and 550-size brushless and brushed motors with limited power, e.g. normal silver cans or legal non-outlaw 17.5 turn motors with 0° timing ESCs. In case this is too slow for you, please register in another class. Our motto is: Let's race for fun!
If you want to participate in more than one class, you may not participate in this class with a model that is typical of one of the other classes. Feel free to enter with your vintage car or others like Kyosho Sandmasters, Wild Willys or Short Course buggies. Please do not race in this class just to increase your chances in the annual sweepstakes at the season finals or to get more track time; the NORC is not about the world championships. ;)
