ARCDS Street Stocks
The street stock class presented by the RC Dirt Series has been developed to give racers an affordable class to participate in. This class utilizes 2wd 1/10th buggy chassis. All cars can be rear or mid-motor driven but must be 2wd. Please read the rules carefully and check back for updates throughout the season. We are responsive to anything we see driving the cost of racing up or unfair advantages. We empower you to set up the chassis and use the tools provided but we will not allow custom, cutting or relocating of components in this class.
