Question for you small scale runners???

[TRAT]

Curious about 1/24 scale builds?
So there is so many cool 1/24-1/25 scale model builds out there that are very scale. Now how come I don’t see done with the RCs like even die cast bodies on a 1/24 scale?? Is the RC 1/24 scale different size than die cast/models?
Just wondering??

Like this is a 1/18 scale, shouldn’t you be able to do a 1/18 scale rc out it..

RC scale isn't typically really to scale. I think Diecast bodies would be too heavy.

My guess is that diecast would need to be a certain thickness to maintain its form, and not get deformed or damaged so easily. So, this required thickness would make it way too heavy at such a small scale. Probably like having a 1:1 car with .5" thick body panels.
