Default Looking for an On Road Electric Car smaller than 1/10 scale

I have been looking over...probably the wrong places. I am looking for a smaller on road Electric car. HPI used the make the Mini and Micro but you cant find those anywhere. I really dont want a 1/10th scale car.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Tamiya has a M-Series.  They are about the same size as the HPI mini series, and are front wheel drive.  The chassis IDs are  M03, M04 but I am not sure if there are others

Depending on the type of car you are looking for, there are several pan style cars in 12th scale and several companies make 18th scale touring type cars.

The club I race at has a class just for those. I personally don't have one, but they look like a real hoot! Here's a video from the last outing:

18r is basically the standard for mini on-road racing, something like 80% of the cars in a mini race are 18r's. Then you have an occasional HPI and maybe a duratrax vandetta-based mod. They're very adjustable and the only real defect is the somewhat questionable steering. Pretty cheap also today.
