RC RALLYCROSS
Now don't shoot me out of the sky for being naive - I'm still finding my feet in this crazy RC world....but does such a thing as RX exist!? I know 1/8th rally cross/ nitro is a big deal here and abroad but just can't believe that such a thing does not exist considering the popularity of X-games and world rallycross champs & the fact that you can buy specific rally models.
I have heard some people talk about putting touring car shells on buggies for a giggle a while back but surely there is scope and interest for a proper class with specific rules & cars for sprint races like the big boys do!? As I said I'm really thinking out loud - maybe its a weird little cult that already exists but no one talks about in the RC world!?! Any thoughts and abuse are welcome  cheers friends!!

This happened years ago but never stayed the distance like the established classes.
Rallycross bodyshells were available for buggies & we used to race them on flat(ish) tracks. I remember having a Sierra Sapphire & a 205GTi for my ProCat back in the day... I think it was this that the current 190mm touring cars were developed from - because people wanted something more 'scale'. Now they race on super smooth tracks 5mm off the ground & talk about how many RPM their 'boost' cuts in at...  I think short course brings very similar thrills - side by side off road racing

Unfortunately, the french think there's only tarmac rally (some nice bodies):

Personally I think the cars look ace but I think the Japanese have the right idea when it comes to this class of racing. The night time snow racing looks a proper laugh. Loads of cars to choose from too especially from Tamiya, DF03, TT01, XV01 etc.
