Frequently asked questions

How big is a 1/24 scale RC car?

Most 1/24 RC cars are about 6 to 7 in long, though body style changes it: monster trucks are wider and taller than buggies of the same scale. The scale means one 24th of the full-size vehicle, so a 1/24 model of a 15 foot truck would be about 7.5 inches long. Manufacturers round, so treat the label as a size class.

What battery does a 1/24 RC car use?

Typically small 2S packs or 1S to 2S Li-ion. The exact pack depends on the model's ESC rating and battery tray, so check the manual for the cell count and the connector before buying spares. Always charge LiPo packs in a LiPo bag and never leave them charging unattended.
