So you're getting into RC and you want to know what is 10th Scale anyway.... Let's take a look at some 10th scale RC vehicles and find out. We'll compare sizes of 10th scale RC crawlers, drag cars, buggies, drift cars, short course trucks and monster trucks. We'll tell you what to look for when choosing a new body or you're trying to decide what RC is right for you. We're into all sorts of 1/10 scale cars, and hopefully this will help you with some questions we get asked all the time.
Come hang out with us at No Half Sends on Sunday April 30th! tickets.thefoat.com/Hiddenmot...

Ethan is also 10th scale

@RCAddictsGarage Год назад

I hate buying bodies that don't fit. It's not like the good ones are cheap either👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾

@GeorgiaBoyRC Год назад

If I were nearby I'd be there. Keep chopping what it means to be 10th scale!

@grrfy Год назад

That Losi is probably my favourite truck for driving experience, just seems to look like a real truck how it moves,and rapid with the hobbywing sct setup.Edit,what I meant to say was,That Losi needs to be used!

@wordreet Год назад

My favourite truck is the Team Associated RC10T. Back in the days before Lipo came along, I ran mine in a mixed scale race with a 7 cell pack, and was catching the 1/8 IC guys. But as it was a 15 minute race I lost a 1.5 laps while changing the battery as I'd had to zip tie it in place. Major fun though, it handles so well!

In a way it's kind of nice, we get more options. I ran my old typhon body on my lcg slash for a while with bandit tires. Just flip the body mounts upside down and it's a perfect fit.

@islandrc-duke1972 Год назад

cool info and video

@rileysvideos2059 Год назад

I bought that proline Chevy 76 body for a red cat caldera because it had the same wheelbase, after MASSIVE fender trimming the wheels still rubbed when turning. Too wide. Scrap that idea. I later forced it to fit on my charisma SCA-1E lynx, this time too long, cut it in half and sleeved about 1@1/2 in and stickered all over the seam to cover my Bucher job. It's one of a kind😂

No doubt "We never use em" you need to revisit drag racing!

@Gridnack Год назад

I've got a 18 scale chassis with a 12 scale body and 10 scale tires and somehow everything just works. The rc scale "system" is weird.

Great info.

Much appreciated fellas. Lots of mistakes to be avoided for sure

@hmisay4976 Год назад

10th scale Drag cars and SCTs are, from my experience, usually much closer to being 8th scale buggies than anything else.

@P.Trick93 Год назад

because they are. 10th scale SCTs are 8th scale buggies

@AsurasWrath164 Год назад

Most of the time they're not. Apart from the tekno sct 4.10 which has 1/8 scale drivetrain components every other sct has components like your usual 1/10 buggy. Only the chassis is a bit longer.

@AsurasWrath164 Год назад

For example the team associated buggies, stadium trucks and short course trucks have exactly the same components and just differ in wheelbase and trackwidth.

@bustedaw11 Год назад

@@P.Trick93 i can put my slash body on my inferno mp9 and I fits the wheelbase perfectly in width and length.

@@bustedaw11 yup

@wordreet Год назад

Oh, yep, and peeps should put their Hot Wheels Nomad Station Wagon against a HW Fiat 500 or Mini Cooper! Hehe, the scale diff is nuts! Hehe, yes, I know it's to fit the track width, but it's still so funny!

@kingwally4545 Год назад

I definitely had a moment about coffee M&Ms

@aut0bahn Год назад

Another variable between the 1/10 scale bodies is the damn wheel base. For example, HPI touring bodies are all 255mm where most Kyosho bodies are 260mm. Tamiya bodies are usually around 257mm. So you have to be careful when you are looking for a body that may be used across manufacturers. It’s frustrating!

@mattreetz3361 Год назад

Saw an advertisement from proline a '56 Ford promod p/u body that got my attention, problem was "" for slash"... I had a senton.... finally found one advertisement that didn't have slash in it anywhere but did have" made for senton"... oh happy days, pulled the trigger made the order and was happy too see it wouldn't fit onto my buddy's slash but looks sweet on my senton....

@jozimoto Год назад

10th scale is subjective. I think Tamiya is probably the most accurate scale representation of 10th scale. Any SCT is not a true 10th scale. We would run 8th scale late model bodies on a SCT chassis when we raced dirt oval.

@SebastianLong Год назад

I dont buy aftermarket bodies for my RCs, i mod stock bodies. I only think of bodies as protection for the electronics or engines. I do have to say though that the differences in scales is a little weird for sure.

@otinelmeszaros9885 Год назад

Scale in our hobby is more about wheel mounting rather than real scale. "10th" scale use 12mm hex wheels, 8th scale is that bigger either nut. 5th scale is 24mm etc

@FarmerFpv Год назад

You guys have such an odd but cool collection. I made a mistake a few weeks ago ordering a body for my 1/10 scale Losi tenacity truggy. I ordered an Xray 1/10 scale truggy body for it which was way too small. Turns out the Tenacity Truggy is a 1/8 scale buggy with a custom size 1/10 truggy body. The X-ray body looked like a 1/14 scale. It was more like a 1/10 scale rc10gt size body. I wish I could post a picture. It's so funny how small it is compared to the 1/10 scale tenacity truggy. 😂😂 What a head-scratcher.

@bobbylefebvre6298 Год назад

Good afternoon bro cool channel nice cars

@kle2217 Год назад

I have the Arrma Typhon 3S and it's supposed to be 1/8 scale. My Traxxas Slash is just about as big or a little bigger than the typhon. I guess it's the nature of these buggy type cars?

Norwalk raceway, are you guys in Ohio? I'm close by in Akron.

@Kutless1308 Год назад

My ears perked right up when I heard that. I live in Norwalk. I'm assuming they are somewhat local since they called it Norwalk Raceway rather than Summit Motorsports Park.

@AggroKragg Год назад

This was actually super helpful, especially for people getting into the hobby. Plus, it definitively answers why my 1/10 HBX rock bouncer is so much tinier than my Slash. 😂

And this is why i like Tamiya RC, they are more to scale. I like to collect RC that are on the same proper scale.

I actually appreciate the comparison lol and remember, some stuff is 1/10 scale of the actual vehicle it's representing. Not all of our full size stuff is the same scale lol

The two caddy’s are definitely perfect example but comparing the Kia hatchback to the bigger caddy is probably pretty accurate just sayin cuz you park them next to each other in real life the hatch isn’t going to be as big as a caddy 😂🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

@dboogeman2002 Год назад

Most 10th scale vehicles nowadays look a lot more like 9th scale. If that existed lol. I don't know why they call a lot of touring cars 10th. The traxxas 4tec is a 12th scale. I don't care what they label it at Traxxas. It's tiny. I ran 10th and 12th scale carpet cars years ago. The sizes are just way way off. The entire definition of the system of the scale determines the size of the toy car compared to the size of a real car. Somewhere along the line somebody has completely misconstrued their information.

@scottfordbrewer4380 Год назад

Some are actually 1/9 or 1.8 scale mis-scaled to sale.

@AsurasWrath164 Год назад

It's not that difficult. Usually cars of the same scale have somewhat comparable size in drivetrain components like shafts, diffgears and diffhousings. And I never bought a wrong body. Just do your research in wheelbase and trackwidth and you're safe.

@black99rt Год назад

Short course is 1/8 scale in any sane world.

@markcole6475 Год назад

1/10 scale car in real life would in most cases be smaller than 1/10 scale truck! Proportioning will very from company to company I’m sure. Some standards will be the same for body availability and fitment! I’m not sure why company’s say 1/10 scale when in reality is more like 1/8 scale? 1/10 drag cars are particularly goofy because the bodies are made to fit a short coarse chassis…..widened and flared in many ways that takes away from the scale look.

@jimcurt99 Год назад

RC companies use the the concept of "scale" in a VERY loose and free way. I have my Losi "1/18" scale Chevelle drag car. It's 15" long- if you do the math that comes to 270" in the real world. But a REAL Chevelle is 198" long- so the Losi is WAY OFF. Do more math and it should be 11" long. It's about 1/13 scale- NOT 1/18. If they used scale properly than 18 Losi Chevelles WOULD equal 1 REAL Chevelle, that's what the word SCALE means

@captainchaos3053 Год назад

See where I come from the scale is taken from the wheelbase. Travis are the worst for scale bodging and a lot of vehicles are fictional anyway so no true comparison is available. Proper scale models are exactly that but a lot of rc stuff is just sales hype.
