1\/16 Scale RC Dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1\/16 scale dimensions can have a wide variety, mainly because there are so many different styles of vehicles. There are light and agile vehicles for the most part, but there is also some heavier trucks on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on what you are looking for, they will all vary by a bit. We\u2019ll go over an example of each of the various types of RC 1\/16 scale vehicles so that you can see the difference and be better able to make a decision on which you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RC Car Scale Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scale and size are two different things that often writers use interchangeably. Scale means that the size is going to be dependent on the full-sized version of that vehicle. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why there is a variation in the length, width, height, and weight of all the cars listed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that the 1\/16 scale means that it is 16 times smaller than the vehicle that they are replicating.<\/strong> So if they are replicating a small vehicle it will in turn be smaller in the 1\/16 scale version than some of the other styles of cars and trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMEMBER: The smaller the number listed on the scale value means that it will be larger in real life. For example, a 1\/10 scale truck is much larger than a 1\/16 scale car. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checking the size of the vehicle will always give you a more precise number than going by scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
