At the moment there are no specific rules. People are experimenting with motor combos. 10.5 - 17.5 brushless are used.
FTD was with a 17t motor which shows that the super power isnt needed. At the moment I run a 2s lipo with a 13t sensorless motor (total cost was about £45 for motor and esc new), which seems a popular choice. It is very fast though.
Tyres, well again kit tyres with additive are also the norm for indoors with carpet.
I know you are a tamiya nut like myself, but you should really consider the F109 by 3 racing. Its a cracking piece of kit and seems to be the new popular F1. You can get it in the uk for about £90.
I cant fault it, my F104pro is very nice, but the F109 seems much more planted than the f104. But really at this stage of the class I dont know how the f104 will develop.
Keep away from the corally conversions etc as they will soon be banned from f1 as they are not really F1's as they have massive rear wheels etc so they are looking at stopping these from a national series. Oh and the HPI isnt really that hot.
Check out my blog in my sig, I have a build thread etc of the F109.
Cheers
