E-Buggy

The 1/8 eBuggy RC (Remote Control) class refers to a specific category of electric-powered off-road buggy racing within the radio-controlled car hobby. Here's a breakdown of what this class typically entails:

  • Scale: The "1/8" scale denotes the size of the RC buggy. In this context, 1/8 scale means that the RC buggy is approximately one-eighth the size of the real-life counterparts. These buggies are larger and more powerful compared to smaller scales like 1/10.
  • Electric-Powered (eBuggy): Unlike nitro-powered buggies, which use internal combustion engines fueled by nitromethane, eBuggies are powered by electric motors and batteries. Electric power systems have become increasingly popular due to their cleanliness, ease of maintenance, and consistent power delivery.
  • Off-Road: The eBuggy class is specifically designed for off-road racing. Tracks for this class typically feature jumps, bumps, berms, and other obstacles that challenge both the driver's skill and the buggy's capabilities.
  • Competition Level: 1/8 eBuggy racing is often considered a competitive class within the RC racing community. Races can be held at various levels, ranging from local club races to regional and national championships. Competitors often invest in high-performance equipment and spend significant time tuning their buggies for optimal performance.
  • Chassis and Components: The chassis of a 1/8 eBuggy is typically constructed from lightweight yet durable materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber. These chassis are designed to withstand the rigors of off-road racing while providing a stable platform for high-speed performance. Components such as suspension, shocks, tires, and electronics are all carefully chosen and tuned to maximize traction, handling, and speed on the track.
  • Regulations: Like any organized racing class, 1/8 eBuggy racing often has specific regulations regarding chassis design, motor and battery specifications, and other technical aspects to ensure fair competition and maintain a level playing field among competitors.

    Overall, the 1/8 eBuggy class offers a thrilling and competitive racing experience for RC enthusiasts who enjoy the challenge of off-road racing with high-performance electric-powered vehicles.

This is currently the only class for Pro-4 and 1/8 E-Truggy to run in.

Pro-4

Pro-4 or 4WD Short Course are 1/10 scale trucks built on a 1/8 chassis. These big bodied cars are fast and a lot of fun on the track. They can be difficult to handle over large jumps due to the parachuting effect of the large bodies. Due to low numbers at the track Pro4 is currently being run in the Sportsman Class. We only run this as a separate class for weekend races if 5 or more entries are present. Otherwise, these vehicles run in the Mini Truggy (1/10 Open 4WD) or Sportsman class.

Experience Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Pro-2
