1/8 thermal, electric or pancar track: our competition equipment review here!

The competition season is about to start for the 1/8 RC track car disciplines. These disciplines are among the oldest of the radio-controlled car competitions. Their main characteristic is the absence of suspension and the need to carry powerful engines. You can build your own model with parts or opt for a Ready To Drive model... In short, it's a discipline open to all, not requiring a large budget and with a good-natured spirit, so if you're interested, go for it.

Here are our product recommendations for the 2023 season by discipline.

Historical category in radio-controlled car competition, the "1/8th classic" is based on the following aspects: 1/8th scale, no suspension, no gearbox, 2 rear wheel drive, engine capacity 3.5cm3.
