I have a curiosity question for everyone. It would seem that boat builders and large scale aircraft builders are intent on making working scale models but I don’t seem to see much of the same interest in cars. Are R/C car enthusiasts interested in cars scaled for form and function? Does anyone know of someone or a company building accurate large scale (1/6th, 1/12th, 1/18th) RC cars? I'm looking for something on the line of a Jeep CJ-5/7, Hummer or dune buggy (maybe even a street car or something) where I can stick my 12" GI Joe in and have it perform close to the real thing?

check Tamiya's website.

Great, Thank you. I see a lot of 1/10 and 1/12 scale. They look scale as far as body goes, but what about chasis, running gear and handling? Is Tamiya the only ones doing kits like this?

My Feedback: (1)

Their are lots of people into building scale RC cars that will rival some of the best scale plane and boat builds. However, their aren't a lot of them on here. Google it and you should find websites and forums all about scale RC cars. The only place I ever see people with scale builds on here is in the Rock Crawling forum.

Tamiya makes great production scale so they are not quite as realistic as someone doing a custom build. I believe the hilift has a 3 speed transmission as do a lot of their semi trucks.
