14 CLUTCH: All vehicles must have a clutch between the engine flywheel and vehicle drive gear. 19 TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS: Engine, fuel tank capacity, carburetor bore, exhaust bore, and/or any other scale specifications may be checked at any time by the Race Director. This can be confusing for a newcomer, but if youre in any doubt about the size of the RC youre interested, just as at a local hobby shop and make sure its what you want before you buy. Usually RC vehicles operate at 27MHz or 49MHz frequencies- the same as your walkie talkie or garage door opener.

Your car will come with complete instructions and owners manual, which you should read carefully for all specifications and any technical issues you have with your RC. Cover your work with a cloth or towel when youre not there to prevent any lost pieces. A car cannot compete unless its body is properly secured. Front Wheel Drive cars will compete under the same rules as 2WD Rear Driven cars, with the exception of the drive train being in the front.
How RC Car Racing Works
Governing Bodies: ROAR
(http://www.roarracing.com/core.htm)
ROAR (Remotely Operated Auto Racers) has been the official North American sanctioning body for racing RC cars since 1967. ROAR is responsible for producing and maintaining fair rules and for organizing race teams that represent the US and Canada at the International Federation of Model Car Racing (IFMAR) World Championships.
Made up of 19 regions in the US and Canada and their representatives, ROAR has been making the rules for RC car racing for more than 35 years. These rules are designed to promote fair competition and define the equipment allowed in ROAR races.
Though ROAR does not run races, it does sanction races from the club level to the National Championships. It is important to note that if international racing is your interest, ROAR is the only organization authorized to qualify and send drivers to the IFMAR World Championships.
The strength of ROAR lies in local clubs spread throughout all 19 regions. Clubs pay to be sanctioned and to be covered by the member accident and liability insurance. Weekly competition in the local clubs provides racers with ample time to practice, and prepares competitors for the State, Region and National Championships.
Individual annual membership in ROAR is , which includes a copy of the rule book and the ability to vote on important rule changes, as well as insurance coverage for ROAR sanctioned events.
ROAR also provides extremely detailed specifications for enginesif youre planning on racing seriously, it is best to build your RC along these guidelines, to prevent having to make difficult changes later. Size outlines for both nitro and electric cars and all the regulations governing official races are also given.
