Frequently asked questions
How big is a 1/7 scale RC car?
Most 1/7 RC cars are about 25 to 30 in long, though body style changes it: monster trucks are wider and taller than buggies of the same scale. The scale means one 7th of the full-size vehicle, so a 1/7 model of a 15 foot truck would be about 25.7 inches long. Manufacturers round, so treat the label as a size class.
What battery does a 1/7 RC car use?
Typically 6S to 8S LiPo. 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.
