Note TC in process of being updated as contains errors on first release. Will be updated in next update.
Any make of 1/10th scale Touring Car can be used. 13.5 and Modified or any brushed motor can be used.
Any 1/10th TC Bodyshell can be used, cut out neatly to ensure there are no sharp edges.
Any rubber slick tyre allowed. No foams or spiked/treaded tyres.
2s 7.4v Lipo batteries can be used, All Lipo’s Must be Hard Cased.
Weight Limit, minimum 1350g. Minimum ride height 5mm (inc chassis and bodyshell).
Reverse should be disabled.
The Club Committee fully accepts that there are a number of other “Mini style” RC chassis on the market, but if possible we would like to keep it to the popular Tamiya kits to keep things on a level playing field. However, if you have something that you would like to race in the Mini Class, at the discretion of the Club Committee we may allow something which has similar performance to the Tamiya Cars so please get in contact and ask.
Standard allowed cars are all Tamiya 'M' Chassis derivatives, M-01, M-02, M-03, M-04, M-05, M-06, M-07 and M-08. M-0#R variants are allowed.
2WD, either front wheel drive or rear wheel drive (Tamiya numbering convention for M-0#, if # is odd number it is front wheel drive, even number rear wheel drive)
Motor limited to any sealed can brushed motor with 21 or more turns. Motor must be fixed timing/timing not adjustable. Motor must not be modified in any way. No cranking of the end bell!
Example motors that may be used are the Standard Tamiya kit 540 sports tuned, Core 21, Kamtec K21…
To reduce the barrier to entry ESC limited to standard tamiya kit ESC, Hobbywing 1060 or Hobbywing 1080 (inc G2) (but discuss if you have something else, aim is avoid arms race of equipment, but not to prevent guests from racing with us etc).
Final drive ratio shall be no taller than 5.7 to 1 (e.g. 5.8 permissible, 5.6 is not). Typically this means 20 Tooth maximum tooth count pinion with standard kit spur gear.
Battery 6 cell Nicd, Nimh, and hard cased 2s Lipo’s can be used (Note 2S Lipo HV permitted, both LiPo and LiPo HV charged to no more than 8.4V). Note that some older chassis are not designed for rectangular packs such as most lipo, shotgun style lipo packs are available but less common.
Any mini rubber tyre on a 42mm rim can be used. No double inserts or Foam tyres permitted.
Weight Limit, minimum 1150g.
Minimum ride height 4.5mm (inc chassis and bodyshell).
Chassis to be as supplied by tamiya kit or tamiya option parts. I.e. aim is to keep to what is fundamentally an m-chassis car as supplied by tamiya using their typical injection molded plastic construction, and not something hopped up with carbon fibre chassis parts.
The differential must not be locked. The action of the differential must operate when tested by hand. Differential may be either gear or ball diff. Non-kit/aftermarket differentials are allowed as long as it doesn't break final drive ratio rules.
Reverse should be disabled.
Body shell should be intended for M-Chassis. Touring Car/Mini Touring Car (MTC) bodies should not be used. Typically this means scale or scaleish bodies should be used. Body shell does not need to be made by Tamiya.
This class is effectively any mini sized car that doesn't fit in DMCRC M-Chassis rules.
Examples but not limited to:
Tyre choice open - rubber or foam as suits car
Any motor/esc
Battery 1S (3.7V nominal, 4.2V max charge voltage) or 2S (7.4V nominal, 8.4V max charge voltage) Lipo. NIMH allowed up to 6 cells.
Reverse should be disabled.
Race entry for Novice or Other electric on-road classes (please specify) NO BUGGIES or large scale.
If you have not raced before or it’s been a while and you’d like some practice, then the Novice class is for you. Any type of electric car is allowed. As for motor’s, we recommend you use a standard 540 silver can kit motor or similar low power motor to keep the speed controllable.
If you have a different class of electric on-road car you'd like to race please get in contact with us by dropping us a message or coming and asking at a race. Recommendation is to use a car that fits one of the classes even if you race in novice class while you find your feet.
Reverse gear, can be used in novice, but is not recommended.(Note for when marshalling, all other classes should not be using reverse so as to not confuse Marshalls and to not cause accidents)
This is highlighted in novice class as not obvious until you know. Read section relating to marshalling duties.
As per BRCA Rules but note that DMCRC club rule ride height limit applies.
In summary, Any commercially available GT12 car can be used, 1S 3.7v LiPo batteries (LiPo HV permitted, both LiPo and Lipo HV but must be charged to maximum of 4.2V)
13.5T brushless motors, blinky mode speed controls (ESC) Only.
GT12 foam tyres only. Additive is allowed (please see the Additive section for more info)
Bodyshells must be realistic ‘GT’ style with a maximum width of 165mm
Weight Limit minimum 950g. Recommended Minimum ride height 4mm (inc chassis and bodyshell). If your car appears to be too low and dragging it can be black flagged. Please protect the carpet. Just because BRCA allows 3mm doesn't mean that it is the best ride height to run at. Lower than 3mm before run is not allowed.
Reverse should be disabled.
As per BRCA Rules but note that DMCRC club rule ride height limit applies.

13.5T brushless motors, blinky mode speed controls (ESC) and foam tyres.
Weight Limit minimum 730g. Recommended Minimum ride height 4mm (inc chassis and bodyshell). If your car appears to be too low and dragging it can be black flagged. Please protect the carpet. Just because BRCA allows 3mm doesn't mean that it is the best ride height to run at. Lower than 3mm before run is not allowed.
Reverse should be disabled.
If the numbers allow then the heats will be split for the slower/faster cars
Any further clarifications required then drop us a message or as before racing starts
This class is for running Tamiya TT-01/TT-01e trucks, it is seen as a fun class and for this we are saying to keep the trucks kit standard as they come out of the box, the following changes are allowed:
For more information or if your unsure then please speak to the race director or any DMCRC committee member.
Min ride height 5mm
Reverse should be disabled.
Based on BRCA Rules but DMCRC Club rules have some deviations that overrule/allow flexibility.
Frontie is meant to be rule driven to keep everything close to level playing field.
1/10th scale touring car FWD only (Designed to be FWD or 4WD that is modified to meet BRCA FWD rules)
Body shell Frontie style only - See BRCA FWD Body List (No TC bodies)
Motor -. DMCRC allows Hobbywing Justock 17.5 fixed timing motors (2025 BRCA specifies a very specific Hobbywing Justock, to be more inclusive option not so strictly limited but should a Justock 17.5 that was/is intended for Frontie racing)
ESC - See BRCA Approved List for FWD - Typically Hobbywing Justock - Note that DMCRC has RPM limit of 17500 rpm (rather than 15000 rpm)
Final Drive Ratio (FDR) See later, DMCRC limit depends on wheel/tyre type used. Your FDR number should be equal to or larger than the specified limit that applies.
Wheels/Tyres - DMCRC does not mandate that current year BRCA very specific indoor tyres must be used. But a wheel/tyre that was/is intended for frontie must be used. If in doubt, ask.
Minimum ride height - 5mm (Body and Chassis)
Weight limit as per BRCA rules applies to DMCRC.
DMCRC allows the following (Take note that different options have different Final Drive Ratio (FDR) limits).
Ride FWD Belted Cut Slick - Any year allowed, does not need to be marked with year. Can be marketed for the UK or European Frontie. Tallest FDR allowed with this wheel/tyre option is 4.5:1.
Ride 1/10 Belted TR09 Slick 24/25 - Tallest FDR allowed with this wheel/tyre option is 5:1.
Reverse should be disabled.
Battery 2S Lipo 7.4V, LiPo HV allowed. Both, maximum Charge Voltage is 8.4V.
