The race cars are divided into two main categories, electric and thermal (using an internal combustion engine).
In turn these are divided into two other major categories, the on-road and the off-road.

In-roads move on slopes with a smooth surface mainly made of asphalt / tar, such as car roads.

Off-roads move on slopes with a surface mainly of earth with jumps and other obstacles.

Finally, each of the above mentioned categories consists of subcategories based on their scale. EL.M.E conducts national championships in the following categories.


Starting from the largest size, the categories are as follows:

1/5 "Large Scale"
1/8 on-road gasoline (Formula)
1/8 off-road gasoline (Buggy)
1/10 on-road gasoline (Nitro Touring)
1/10 on the road electrically(EP Touring)
1/10 off-road electrically (1/10 EP 4wd & 2wd buggy / Short Course Trucks)

The competitions for the Panhellenic Championship are held in accordance with the specifications of the Hellenic Modeling Union, offering the best possible and fairest conditions for the participants. ELME is the only official body in Greece recognized by the international federations to host the Pan-Hellenic Championships while giving its members the opportunity to participate in Pan-European and World Championships.
