see i dont no how to scale things up???? no one can give a simple answer???? lol will they work ? has anyone used them i tryed the search but nothing...

[a1racer]

no it is not scale it is more like 1/8th scale than 1/10th. it would be like a 30oz can of bear

[62PYRO]

1/10th means exactly what it says.To answer the question,they would be too big.
Also,why ask this question in more than one forum?

OMFG!!!!!


1/10 (or 1:10) scale equals everything is 1/10th the size of the real thing.

So, your 1" scale beers would be the equivalent of a 10" beer in the "real" world. Sure, a "tall boy" would be in the ballpark (but not really), but the width of the can would be way off.

So no, on a 1:10 rig, they would not look right at all.

i got ya... no need to be a smart guy...

[jd267]

anyone no where to get one that will work????

[JeremyH]

I use these cans on one of my scale builds and they measure 7/16" tall and 5/16" wide and I think that they are just a bit large for this application:
(next to a 1.9" tire)




(inside the cooler...this is where I think they look big)

[jd267]

they look cool to mee where did you get them and what scale are they??

[JeremyH]

I dont know the exact scale, but they are pretty damn close to 1/10 (assuming that a beer can is 5" tall). I got them from TCS (HERE) and made my own labels.

[jd267]

thanks for the info... menny thanks

[JeremyH]

No problem.
