!/8 scale on road is the next size up, but they are pricey. are you sure you want bigger or do you want faster. trust me, we can do faster in 1/10 scale.

here are a few to look at.

1/8th on-roads are preatty expensive because about %95 of them are made to be pure-bred racing machines. The cheepest one is probably the one sold by OFNA, becuase its one of the few that isnt a pure bred racer. Its still preatty expensive though, but if youve got the $$ its a great car.

could you tell me what kit that is please ....


what is more popular 1/8 th or 1/5 th ....

I have a 1/10 th scale for years I want something bigger is all ....

More popular for what? racing or bashing? racing 1/8 is more popular. I don't think there are any 1/5 on roads. the only ones that big I've seen have been buggies.

ok so 1/8 is what I am looking to go for racing .... it seems there is no choice of bodies really for 1/8 scale cars ?

and you mentioned a kit that was not to bad ... you have a link ?

understand that a kit means your going to have to provide a radio, an engine, and servos. its just a rolling chasis.

I also don't know how good that kit is. I've heard good thing about mugen but I race 1/10. some of the guys in the nitro on road forum would probobly be able to help you out.

theres 1/5 scale racing, they use gasoline engines like the buggies.
