The new tentative RC Car World 2016-2017 race schedule was released on August 16th.

This new season we are adding on 2 new classes to all events.

No brushless cars are allowed in this class. The tires allowed in this class are HPI Vintage with radial tires or Vaterra wheels and tires. Any Vaterra upgrades as well as electronics are allowed (except for stock motors). Any non-touring car body will be OK.

The second new class is the Breakout class, which is open to any car,  and has no limits on mods. In this class the slowest car will set the pace, therefore laps under this time will not count. Additional information will be posted for this class.
