Btw John, I looked and we found one in Tokyo but it was pretty big and there was no way we could really fit it in at the last min as we were stuffed full already  |
It would be awesome to see some Tamtech's there! We were just talking about them the other day
There isn't a 1/16 specific class (basically only 2 classes: Pro Stock and Mod).
As long as they fit the dimensions I think they'll be good to go!
Here are the rules:
1/18th Offroad
