Just like the full scale off-road vehicles, the most popular 1/10 scale class of vehicles can be outfitted with parts that vary from inexpensive to rather pricey. The RC world often imitates the full scale and a licensing from companies to produce parts like wheels, axles, tires, bodies of Jeep, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, etc.. allow for 1/10 representation of what you would see on a full scale off-road and on road trucks, cars, airplanes and boats. Even the tires are scaled down and licensed replicas of BFGoodridge and others and have the same tread patterns. :D Yes, one can spend quite a bit on a 1/10 scale model but for the most part it still costs much less than the full scale vehicle obviously. :smoking:
Here is just one example. A fully licensed 1/10 Portal style Axle replica of Currie Enterprises that is offered for many models. Bolts on just like the real deal. :D
