What’s the Largest Scale RC Car?

Remote control cars have been around since the 1960s, and since then they have seen many advancements in technology. From basic on/off switches to more sophisticated control systems, RC cars have come a long way.

Today, RC cars come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny micro-cars to massive 1/5th scale models. But what’s the largest scale RC car?

The largest scale currently available for RC cars is 1/5th scale. This means that the car is 1/5th the size of a real-life car.

This size can range from 16 inches to 24 inches in length and 8 inches to 12 inches wide. While this may seem small compared to a real-life car, it’s still large enough to be quite impressive.

1/5th scale RC cars are usually powered by petrol or electric motors, although nitro engines are also popular in some circles. These larger models tend to be more powerful than their smaller counterparts and are capable of reaching speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h). They also require more maintenance than smaller models due to their increased complexity.

These larger models are often used for racing competitions or just for having fun with friends. They often come with features such as suspension systems, adjustable wheel camber, adjustable gear ratios and adjustable shocks for maximum performance on different surfaces.

One of the most popular 1/5th scale RC cars is the Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck. This monster truck has a stunning design that looks like it belongs on an off-road course rather than your living room floor! It has an 8S LiPo battery that allows you to reach speeds of up to 45 mph and 4WD drivetrain that provides maximum grip on any terrain.

Conclusion:
The largest scale currently available for remote control cars is 1/5th scale, which ranges from 16 inches to 24 inches in length and 8 inches to 12 inches wide. Popular 1/5th scale models include Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck which runs on an 8S LiPo battery and can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h).
