This Q&A section has general information pertaining to Racing. There are several Q&A sections and you will find an index of them at Q&A Central.

To help support this growing hobby, AtomicMods.com is hosting a Local Racing Clubs page. If you know of a racing club in your area please tell us about it and we will post your information so that other racers can find your club.

You can find rules published all over the web and adapt them to your own club, but the most straightforward rules I have seen are as follows:

There are 3 classes, Stock, Modified, and Open. If your car doesn't fit in the Stock Class or the F1 Class then you are in the Open Class.

There is only one track to consider for small scale racing and that is the RCP. See our Tracks section.

The tracks feature a soft side rail that helps protect the cars from damage. The side rails measure 1 1/4” tall x 2 3/8” wide and feature a very strong attachment system that will not come loose from RC vehicle impacts. The rails can be removed for storage and transportation or can be left on for quicker assembly.

All RCP tracks incorporate two unique surfaces in each of the kits. You have the option to run the custom RCP racing texture or flip the tiles over to the smooth side for a much different feel. When running soft rubber tires, the RCP racing surface will allow the user to run hard and fast under extreme racing conditions. Setting the car up with hard or stock tires will allow you to drift or turn with some slide. You have the choice to run the RCP surface that best works for your driving style.

Sorry, aside from the factory Team AtomicMods racing team we don't do sponsorships. Even if you are Dale Earnhart reincarnated, we'll have to pass.

He's a liar.

First you should know we are pretty picky when it comes to Team AtomicMods. We have some of the best drivers in the world so we are not easily impressed and not only do you have to be a stellar driver, you must have excellent writing skills because drivers are not only expected to race, but to share their knowledge through tutorials and articles. If you believe you are worthy send us an email with your resume and a sample article and we will see how you stack up.

They get discounts on product, and serious bragging rights. And they are also paid for the articles they write.
