When you are looking at getting a remote controlled car one of the main things that you will have to decide on will be its size. There are a variety of sizes available, and the most common ones are 1:8, 1:10, and 1:12 scale. Remote controlled cars are often modeled after their full-size counterparts and are built in a ratio to the size of the real vehicle. Remote controlled cars that are 1:12 scale are approximately one-twelfth the size of their corresponding full-size vehicle.

Great for beginners and for experienced hobbyists looking for a smaller remote controlled car, 1:12 scale remote controlled cars are large enough to be high performance but are small enough to be transported easily and without any hassle. 1:12 scale remote controlled cars are also generally cheaper than their 1:8 and 1:10 scale counterparts and use less hobby fuel (a potent mix of nitro, methane, and lubricants) or use a smaller battery (depending on the type of model you are going to purchase). If you are interested in getting a 1:12 scale remote controlled car do not hesitate â?? they are a lot of fun and you will not be disappointed.
