Default true scale rc on road vehicles/builds?

I'm very familiar with the scale off road truck builds and trail/crawler type vehicles, but I never see the same trend in on road vehicles. Id love to see some builds where the power, weight, and suspension is much more realistic and "scale" vs super fast cars and unrealistic suspension. Have I just missed them, or does this pretty much not exist?

If the power was scale appropriate, it wouldn't be very fast. So, not very entertaining. What do you mean by "unrealistic suspension"? I mean we got oil filled shocks, adjustable suspension geometry, what else is there?

Well scale trail and crawler trucks are very slow but is more accurate which makes it fun and entertaining. I was talking about if the vehicles were used more for like normal driving in model cities or something along those lines instead of track cars. Soft bouncy suspension that would react at the slower scale speeds, heavier weight on the vehicles, etc... Just an idea.

Oh...I see where you're going. No, I can't say I've ever seen or heard of that before.
