What Would Be Consider 1/5 Scale LxWxD

[rustneversleeps]

I check archive threads but couldn't find any thing.
My question is what would be consider 1/5 scale LxWxD.
I'm thinking of building one and would like to know what would be the wheel base for these big machines
by checking the photo thread it looks like some of them are just scx10 to me.Would be nice to see some type of dimension when posting up pic to get a real sense of how big these things really are...

You would be better served in the Large Scale Rig section.

This section is for 1.5, as in 1.55 wheel/tires size not 5th scale. Other end of the spectrum -------->.

To get the size of a rig that is 1/5th the size of a full size rig, just get the measurements of the full size rig and divide by 5. The actual size of a true 5th scale rig is relative to the full size rig's dimensions.

by will make

Oh ok i get it now Sorry for the wrong thread ....will check big rigs then.Ok so if wheel base on a 1:1 is like 96" 8ft Divide 5 the wheel base on a 1/5 scale should be 19.2"So this apply to 1/10 scale to just divide by 10. does that make sense..

Maybe the moderator can move this thread to the Big Rig Section thanks.

Yes.
