Welcome to the 1/5th Scale Large Scale On-Road Section, known as 1/5th Scale LS Racing.
This is the most realistic form of racing compared to real size touring cars both in terms of handling and technical aspect.
1/5th Scale Cars are run on tarmac tracks. They run 23cc 2 Stroke Engines, similar to strimmer engines. They are rear wheel drive driven and have a single speed clutch & diff set up. Running 4 wheel disc brakes, normally hydraulic based but also cable based depending on brand.
The great thing about 1/5th Scale Cars is that you can get full competition, aluminium & carbon based cars or you can also get the highly popular FG Mini Car, which is a stripped down, shorter wheel based 1/5th Scale Car, which is great for beginners or those on a budget.
This scale of R/C Racing is all about having fun, racing with a smile and learning as much as possible among fellow racers. With tracks all around the UK & Northern Ireland, its easy to find a track near you.

Race Report
Another amazing weekend of electric atmosphere and epic racing.
Sunny weather all weekend meant attendance was excellent especially in the 2WD class.
Good to see quite a few club members participate in this years event.
Congratulations to Barry Abbott (2WD) and Chris Skidmore (FG 4WD) for securing the top spots as 2025 champions with still round 8 to go.
A big thank you to all involved in making this weekend happen, and thanks to Ricardo for providing some yummy catering for us on Sunday evening.
