Wondering which touring car to buy? The Tamiya TT-02 is the car more racers run than any other in 2026, on the strength of its spec classes, and the Awesomatix A800R leads the competition chassis. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App this year: 2,432 racers added or updated a setup for one of the 168 1/10 electric touring cars in the app during 2026.

The percentage under each car is the share of those racers who run it. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved. Counts updated November 2026.

How we counted

We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/10 electric touring cars, added or updated between January and November 2026, so this is what racers run now rather than what they have ever owned. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved, and nothing about who they are or where they race reaches this page. Versions of a car that share a setup sheet, like a dirt and a carpet edition, are counted together.

Common questions

What is the most popular touring car in 2026?

The Tamiya TT-02, run by 9% of the 2,432 racers who saved a setup for one of these cars in 2026, then the Awesomatix A800R at 5% and the Schumacher Mi9 at 5%.

What brand do most touring car racers run?

Tamiya, with 21% of the 2,432 racers in our count, then XRAY at 18% and Schumacher at 12%.

Is the most popular car the best one?

We count what racers run, we don't test cars, so this is popularity rather than a lab result. The most run car is usually a safe buy because parts, setups and advice are easy to find, but a newer car from the same maker is often where the racers who just bought one went.
