Default Is there a RC car that's designed like a real car?

Engines in the front, no use of lexan for body. The body is integrated to the chassis like in real car. Basically a real car but scaled down version of it in RC form.

Default RE: Is there a RC car that's designed like a real car?

There are a few like that but they're generally one-offs, custom made form the ground up. Performance is generally lacking, because the physics scale more accurately. Also, repairs, reliability, etc can be more problematic. Basically it's just highly impractical fir actual running, those who build them do so for the enjoyment of design and scale appearance rathaer than running. As far as cars that still are designed for running, check out the higher end 1/5 scale cars.
