MINI REMOTE CONTROL CARS & TRUCKS
When considering which vehicle is best for you one major factor is its size. The price is directly related to the overall size of the vehicle. Vehicles under $250 are usually under the “mini“ size category and vehicles $700 and above usually in the “large” category. Between $250-$700 are your standard size vehicle which has the most selection.
Besides the price another way to determine the general size of the vehicle is by its scale. Usually 1/16th, 1/10th, 1/8th, 1/6th and 1/5th. One common mistake is the assumption that all 1/10th vehicles are the same size when they are indeed not. In several instances the scale of a vehicle is primarily used to determine the size of the electronics used in that vehicle. The best way to understand the size is by reviewing the specs and using the compare feature on your favorite vehicles. Further details about scales below.
One of Two reasons why two 1/10th scale vehicles could differ in size is because of its real life counterpart. Since a real Monster Truck and 1969 Camaro are different in size in the real world then a 1/10 version of them would still be different in size as well.
The second reason why two 1/10th scale vehicles could differ in size is due to their platforms. For example, the V100 is a touring car platform under the 1969 Camaro is a true to scale 1/10th scale vehicle when compared to a real 1969 Camaro. However the 22S platform under the 1969 Drag Camaro is based on a 1/10 buggy/stadium truck suspension which were originally not designed to be modeled after a real vehicle but they share the same size electronics as the touring car therefor got categorized under 1/10th.
Now that you understand the sizes in RC we can discuss some other general things to consider when selecting your vehicle. Once of those considerations is the batteries required. All of our “Mini” vehicles share the same battery which is different from “Standard” and “Large” vehicles. Standard and Large vehicles share the same battery size but large vehicle require 2 batteries in order to increase the voltage to provide the sufficient power. Generally speaking “standard” vehicle only require 1 battery but there are some exceptions. To fully understand what batteries are required for your vehicle you can find the details under “needed to complete” on each product page.
