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.
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.
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.
