The following is the Tamiya official racing rules. We follow most of them in our meeting and race, but we don't strictly follow some of them. We will announce our racing rules in the coming future.

In order to keep Tamiya's Mini 4WD race competitions fun, exciting, and fair, we have developed a set of competition regulations. All participants of official Mini 4WD race events are required to abide by these regulations.
Mini 4WD races are not just about being the fastest, it's also about using your head and having good set-up techniques. Not only do you challenge other racers, but you challenge yourself too. By remembering the spirit of fair play, you can learn how to race honorably and with good manners. Therefore, we hope that every Mini 4WD fan will abide by these regulations.
※Please note that changes have been made to [1] Machines, Section 3. Machine Measuring System in January 2009. All Official Tamiya Races will use these revised rules.

Only Mini 4WD PRO, Racing Mini 4WD, Super Mini 4WD, Fully-Cowled Mini 4WD, Aero Mini 4WD, Mighty Mini 4WD, and R/C Mini 4WD machines are permitted. Further restrictions on machine types may be possible depending on the race event or race class.
