1/8 Scale RC Cars: Are You Ready? by D Kuhns
If you live in the United States you have probably seen 1/10 scale, 1/16 scale and 1/18 scale RC cars from manufacturers such as Traxxas, XTM Racing, Cen Racing, HPI, and many more. However, there is a whole other class of RC cars that you might not know about. That is the 1/5 and 1/8 scale (or large scale) gas RC car. These cars have been around over seas and the USA for decades but in the USA they are rarely ever seen, where as over seas they are much more widely known.
These cars are a little bit different. They don't run on electric or nitro,like your average RC cars would They run on gas, specifically a gas and two stroke engine oil mixture. Yes, it's true, the very same gas that your car or lawn mower runs on. In fact, if you have a gas powered weed eater you have the very same type of engine that most of these cars propel themselves with. Pretty cool, huh? These gas cars are much bigger than your average RC cars and are powered with engines ranging in size from 23cc to 30cc two stroke engines. You can get these models in various types including buggies, or track cars; it all depends on what your tastes are.
Here in the US the most popular of the large scale RC car is very rapidly becoming the HPI Baja 5b. This is partly due to the fact that more hobby shops are starting to carry it, and the ease of getting replacement parts. It comes in a number of configurations: Baja 5t RTR, Baja 5B 2.0 and SS, and the Baja 5b RTR.
With large scale RC cars your troubles of wet glow plugs and starter boxes are over. These RC cars come with pull start engines and spark plugs. They are tough and some come with full disk breaks. Also say good bye to high price nitro fuel, at twelve dollars a quart this can quickly add up, and even at three dollars per gallon, gas is far cheaper. Another great thing about gas fueled cars are their run times, 40 plus minutes of run time. That can be double and sometimes triple the run times of some electric or nitro cars, and they don't need tuning every time you go out either. After the first tank or 'break in', you will want to tune the engine for maximum performance. A good thing to remember here is that tuning them is very easily, usually requiring only minimal adjustments, and you only have to do it once. They don't lose their tune, and the tune is much more abuse resistant unlike nitro engines. There is also no battery discharging, and you don't have to worry about cooling before reuse like some electric cars.
How fast can they go??
If you've been running RC cars for any amount of time this question seems to be the number one question, "how fast does it go?", and the answer is repeatedly the same, "well that all depends". Gas fueled cars are no different with respect to set up. Engine size, exhaust pipes, and gear ratios all factor in when getting that ever so important top speed. When it comes to large scale, a three foot, 30lb car at 30-40mph is an incredible sight. At 50mph it can get pretty thrilling. Remember that these cars are big, and high speeds are not always necessary to have fun with these models. So will your out of the box Traxxas T-Maxx beat a 4wd baja buggy out of the box? I have to say, yes, it probably will, but after the Traxxas T-Maxx has run out of nitro, and your waiting for the engine to cool down, the HPI Baja will still be going strong.
The Cons:
The first big one is price, the expensive initial investment in the cars, large scale RC cars don't come cheap. Second of all, mixing fuel isn't the funnest thing in the world to do, but thankfully you don't have to do it often. Hop up parts are expensive and a little more difficult to get as these cars are not as popular as their 1/10 scale counterparts. Last of all, they are also quite noisy even over their nitro cousins.
So if you do decide that you would like to get into the world of large scale RC, I think you will find that it is as much or more enjoyable as their smaller cousins. But, whether you go with a Baja 5B, or a Traxxas Revo, or XTM Rail whatever you choose, go for it and it will bring countless hours of fun for you and your friends.
