Tamiya M05 Racing
 

The club has now started running heats for Tamiya M05 cars.

It’s the perfect class to enjoy fun close quarter racing with Tamiya’s simple to tune FWD M-chassis cars. The class motor rules are to be kept simple, this is for budget minded racers and to keep the class fun. Simplicity and budget is accomplished by using a brushed motor and ESC.
