Front Wheel Drive Touring Cars!

[Markoxx4]

I have just bought a Tamiya FF01 Touring car with the Primera Bodyshell!!
Never seen a FWD rc car before and wondered if there are any clubs still racing this class??

Should be alot of fun once i get my gear into it, not sure a Torquey Brushless system through the front wheels is a good idea though!!!

Any one still race these? any one still use theirs???

I doubt any clubs run FWD tourers any more, although I think quite a few run the Tamiya Mini Coopers which are FWD also.

FWD tourers go pretty well actually, traction is an issue but they handle nicely, a few years back I remember one fella running very competitively at our club with an FF02 306, he was very, very close indeed to my pace with a 4wd tourer.

I remember Howard Mohan had a yokomo front wheel drive tourer and it was pretty good I thing he still has it.

Somebody at my club used one a few years ago for a few nights. It was some yokomo thing, it went quite well I drove it a few times as long as you where smooth on the throttle it was very quick.

That would be cool to run a fwd touring car. I run a mini cooper but to me that would be different. They never had anything over here like that, well that I know of.

I have a Tamiya FF-01 and an FF-02. The FF-01 is tidy handling car, the FF-02 is a bit more of a handful going from understeer on power to snap oversteer off power.. Very Hairy!!

Yeh Spence, Stu Mahon had one too, think one was full graphite too! They raced with the normal touring car.

The yokomo ones were pretty good, but they killed front tyres, there was just so much wheelspin

Wheelspin wasn't bad with 2000's and a 19t.
