What is “Quarter Scale” Quarter Scale race cars are radio controlled car models, ¼ the size of a full-size race car. They weigh about 30 pounds, and are powered by 26cc engine. On a large track, they can reach speeds up to 70mph. These cars are a scaled-down version of many of the cars you see in a typical racing event shown on television or in magazines they include Sprint Cup Stock Cars, Nationwide Grand National Stock Cars, Craftsman Truck Series, World of Outlaw Sprint Cars, Outlaw Late Models, etc Quarter scale cars are the largest of all the radio-control race cars. They can have independent type suspension, with hydraulic shock absorbers. Quarter scale is less expensive and very much safer than their full-scale counterparts, (we’ve never had any drivers hurt when they crashed during a quarter scale event) but the racing is still very real. Any seasoned quarter scale driver will tell you he can “feel” what his car is doing, just as he would in a full-size race car. The driver controls the car by means of a hand-held radio transmitter, which has a steering wheel for directional control, and a “trigger” to control the throttle and brakes. The car contains a radio receiver, and devices called “servos” which control the steering, the throttle, and the brake, according to what the driver does on his radio transmitter. They more closely resemble their full-scale counterparts than do any of the smaller scales, the car’s body is typically made from “Lexan”, a plastic type material that is molded to an exact replica of a full-size car, but in miniature. In addition, almost any set-up parameter available on a full-scale race car is duplicated on the quarter scale equivalent. Winning requires a combination of many skills including car set-up, as well as a fast engine and good driving!
