Bigger?

FG offroad trucks and buggies are 1/6th scale class. I have seen many people list the trucks as 1/5th scale as well.
FG Onroad cars are 1/5th scale class.

HPI Baja is a 1/5th scale buggy

MCD trucks ,buggies and cars are 1/5th scale class.

Ther are 1/4 scales. But they are incredibly hard to get and expensive.

Tjena grabben!Hello neighbourI reckon this isnt so hard to get,looks to me like an MCD or a clone.Should be pretty cheap too if it is a clone.The FG MT is 1/6-scale,and MCD MT is 1/5 scale,therefor the different sizes

There are several Conley cars that I have seen show up on eBay in the past. They are all typically powered by a scale V8. Also, there is a member of RCU with a Conley Vette powered by the same engine. His username is [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/profile.cfm?memid=274769]NitroVette[/link].

Another member, 'Quarterscalelegends' has lots of history on those big cars and trucks.

biggest large scale?? Well trucks that were made would be 1/4 scale like pictured below. Someone built sprint cars in 1/3 scale and I am working on a 40% scale indy car.

low percentage nitro. The new engines have ignitions so you can run regular gasoline in them.
