1/8 and 1/10 Scale Nitro R/C Cars?
Which is generally faster between the 1/8 scale and 1/10 scale nitro off-road cars? And which is faster between the 1/8 and 1/10 scale on-road cars?
And as far as buggy vs. truggy in the 1/8 nitro, which of those are faster?
1/8 for both will be much faster. I'm a giant RC nut i'm not just guessing.
If your getting into RC's i would go with only 1/8 scale everything. after using 1/8 for all these years when i play with a 1/10th RC it feels like a kids toy. the engines are bigger on 1/8 as well as the the whole RC is bigger

Sometimes it depends on:
Which motor you run, how rich or lean, how your tuning is.
Buggys and Truggys have different body style, suspension setups, and sometimes different axel lengths.
