A better-equipped
pit table.

1/28

A common shorthand for this racing size. Exact body scales and chassis dimensions vary; it is not a universal parts standard.

RWD / AWD / FWD

Rear-, all- or front-wheel drive: which wheels receive motor power.

RTR / Readyset

An assembled package. Check the specific listing for transmitter, batteries and charger requirements.

RCP

A modular foam track system widely used for miniature RC. Not every event uses the same layout or preparation.

Wheelbase

The distance between front and rear axle centres. It must match the intended body and chassis configuration.

Offset

The wheel’s lateral positioning relative to its mounting face; it changes track width and body clearance.

MM / RM / LM

Kyosho motor-mount configuration labels. Confirm the exact chassis, motor position and body compatibility.

T-plate

A flexible plate connecting the rear pod to the chassis on many RWD designs.

Differential

A mechanism allowing the driven wheels to rotate at different speeds in a corner.

Camber / toe

Camber is wheel tilt viewed from the front; toe describes wheel direction viewed from above.

Shore hardness

A material hardness measurement. Tyre labels are not a reliable cross-brand grip comparison.

KV

A brushless motor’s approximate unloaded revolutions per minute per volt. Gearing and voltage also affect speed.

ESC

Electronic speed controller: controls motor power and may provide braking and programmable settings.

NiMH / LiPo

Different rechargeable battery chemistries requiring compatible charging and electronics.

Understeer / oversteer

The car turns less than intended / the rear rotates more than intended. Diagnose driving and tyres before changing parts.

A-main / B-main

Separate final groups, normally formed from qualifying. Winning a lower final is distinct from an overall class victory.

Transponder

A device used by a compatible lap-timing system to identify the car as it crosses the detection point.

Scrutineering

Checks that the car meets the event’s technical regulations.

No matches. Try tyres, battery or setup.
