:) I think that 1/10 sizes are he best and that they perform overall best for their size and when it gets to 1/6 they start becoming a bit slow at accelerating and more like a real car than an rc car, does anyone agree?? :confused:

Never having tried a 1/6th scale truck I can't really answer that but I don't think it is really a question of drive quality for many people. It is simply " My ... is bigger than yours!". It's probably a guy thing.

I suspect you are right though. With that much weight there has to be a diminishing return on performance. Sure, you can put a huge engine in it but the weight has to detract from handling.

I guess I could agree with that, although the 1/8 scale nitro guys would put up a good argument against it.

Get a 1/5 or 1/6 vehicle moving and into it's powerband though and they will suprise you as to how they handle and how fast they run!
