How to Chose a 1/8th Scale RC Car

Robbie speaking for Expert Village. Different scales of cars. Our most popular scale is one-eighth. One-eighth the size of a real automobile. By far, the most popular is the eighth scales. This is an example of one here. This is a Loci LST. This truck actually is one of our most expensive top-of-the-line trucks, runs for six-hundred and fifty dollars. Comes with a very nice digital synthesized radio. They all have lexam bodies on them, more for just looks and a cover. Mechanics of it are all down on the inside of it. This truck is capable of about fifty miles per hour once you get it tuned and broken in. It weighs about fourteen pounds, has a two speed transmission, reverse dual-range transmission in it, like a jeep or a four wheel drive. Very, very efficient drive line, it's a good jumper, nice radio system in all. This is our most popular type of truck, it's called a monster truck. We sell probably more monster trucks than anything else in the store. You can see they come in different types of varieties. Paint jobs, schemes, each one of them is a little bit different. Like, kind of like a real car. Some of them are better, like this one here, more durable. Show you this real quick, take the body off of it. You can take these things, do the same thing from about twenty-five or thirty feet, landed on its wheels and it will keep right on going.
