I think I heard some rumblings about a possible TCS race at Cal Raceway? 
That would be awesome.

What's the rule for heat sinks on Euro trucks? In the video above from Omaha there are two trucks pictures with heat sinks. How about fans? The rules aren't completely clear. I would like to use the Tamiya 53664 heat sink and maybe a fan, especially with summer coming.
The rules for Euro Truck seem to say no though. Even to fans. How about the motor cover, is that required?
General Rules for all classes
2. All Tamiya vehicles must use Tamiya parts only. No parts from other manufactures unless specified within this document.
3. Any Tamiya Hop-Up Option and spare part is allowed and legal as long as it is used in the way it was designed, and installed on the vehicle it was designed for.
Motor Rules
2. Bolt-on off-brand, after-market heat sinks to the motor can is not permitted. ok, but how about the ones that slide on, they aren't bolt on
4. The use of any manufacturer’s cooling fan is legal. However, the fan must be no larger than 1.5 in. X 1.5 in. or 40mm square, and must run off the receiver or direct from the main battery pack. It is ILLEGAL to have a secondary battery to power the fan. No more than 2 fans total are permitted in a vehicle. This includes the speed control fan.

In my experience, TCS regional race directors have allowed fans (but no extra holes in the body to vent a fan) and have not required the motor cover. I have no idea what's allowed in the way of motor heat sinks. With a can-type motor the main thing is to increase airflow to the commutator, and a heat sink does not help with that.

For TCS I’m placing my son in spec novice. The highest gearing for TT02 is 64/29.. 5.74 FDR.. I’m assuming the Torque Tuned Motor can handle it?
