Classes we race
1300 Stockcars
1300 Stock Cars are the "little Brothers" of the Saloonstox just like in full scale oval racing. 1300's are fitted with tough plastic bumpers for some close nudge-and-spin racing. They are a great way for beginners to get into racing, but also a good place for the veterans of the sport to have some real close competition.
These cars run a basic 4 cell battery and brushed sealed can motor. A brushless option is available at HOT's. They originated from the Mardave V12 chassis and there are now several manufactures, such as Mardave, Kamtec and Large IT offering alternative GRP chassis and excellent ready to run kits.
2 Litre Saloonstox
Just like their full sized counterparts, the fast and aggressive driving make this one of the most entertaining classes to watch or compete in. Powerful, heavy and fitted with big plastic bumpers, you’re always guaranteed an action packed race!
The cars are originated from the Mardave V12 chassis and there is now a great array of ready to race kits being produced by Mardave, Kamtec and others.
The cars have an option of running either 6 cell with a simple brushed motor, or a Lipo and Brushless motor combo.
Hotrods
The National hotrod class is the fastest of all the RC oval classes and requires great skill to pilot the car around the oval in a non contact race.
A wide range of chassis choices are available, with very fast brushless motors, these cars attract some highly skilled drivers and the racing can get quite intense!
The 2 Litre hotrod class is also now available which works on the basis of a 1300 Stockcar without bumpers.
Ministox
The Ministox class is the only 12th oval class we race that has a distinctively shorter wheelbase. These cars are fast, furious and have no suspension apart from the flex given in the chassis material.
What appears to be a beginner class is far from it. These little mini's really are marmite, some love and some hate them. They are based on a thin GRP chassis and run a Lipo battery with brushless speed controller and motor that must be 17.5 turns.
Superstox
Superstox are purpose built, open wheeled, single seater stockcars which are the "little Brothers" of the F1 Stockcars in full scale oval racing. Whilst at HOT's we race the F2 Stockcars in radio controlled form, the F1 stockcars tend to be fairly absent in the south. This is the same in the full scale racing as well.
These cars run a basic 4 cell battery and brushed sealed can motor and are the only class at HOT's to race in anti-clockwise direction. They have national set of rules with the BRCA and there are now several manufactures such as Mardave, Kamtec, DOT, DGA, Avenger to list a few.
