1/10th SCALE ELECTRIC OFFROAD SERIES

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The "NRW Offroad Cup" was established in 2009. Six racing events and a two-day final were held by local clubs in the west of Germany. The 2012 season will start at a new venue: The indoor track in Lünen.

MAY I PARTICIPATE WITH MY CAR/MOTOR/BATTERY?
Every driver of a 1/10th scale electric Offroad vehicle is welcome! The rule set and material requirements are a simple affair,  so you can use the equipment you already have. In addition to the traditional 2WD, 4WD and stadium truck classes, we offer a beginner's class, and modified and 2WD stock short course classes. The latter evolved from the popular Slash Spec class to give owners of other Short Course Trucks the chance to join in, too.

WHAT CLASSES DO YOU RUN?
2WD, 4WD, Stadium Truck, Short Course 2WD Stock, Short Course Modified, Beginner's (subject to change in 2011)
