Only thing to be aware of is 2wd cars must drive the rear wheels, Front wheel drive cars run in the 4wd class!

Is that a new rule? it never used to exist - two driven wheels on the same axle - front or rear I thought it was. Front wheel drive is a joke anyway.

Think this rule has always been in there since i started racing a long time ago. Thing the Kyosho maxium FF back in the 90's caused this one!

It's been an IFMAR rule since 1987. That year the worlds was on a low grip surface and with tyre technology at the time mean grip was low no matter what you did. Petermann built a special fwd chassis based on CAT parts that showed the potential of fwd cars on low grip surfaces, so the rule was introduced so racers didn't have to have a fwd and rwd car to compete at the worlds depending on the surface.

Anywhere else apart from the worlds you can use fwd chassis, fwd is allowed under BRCA rules.

BTW the Maxxum FF didn't appear until 1989.
And under BRCA rules you can have as many wheels as you like, and for that matter as many motors you like, but you can only use 6 EB approved cells to power it.

I see the rule is in the Efra but not BRCA rules. im sure it has been in there in the past but just shows how much i read them. So looking at the rules you can run a front wheel drive car with any tyre choice for grip as the control tyres on the rear,
I think there is something in that for some of the tracks we run on,
