Category:1:8 scale

The scale of a radio-controled vehicle refers to the size of the model as compared to its full-size counterpart. For instance, a 1/8th scale Formula 1 car is 1/8th the size of, or 8 times smaller than, the size of the real thing.

1/8th scale RC cars are almost always four-wheel-drive and have center differentials, which allow for split front/rear braking and improved handling. 1/8 buggies are generally considered the most high-end of on-road and off-road RC's, and are favored by racers for their speed and handling on the track.
