Default 1/10 conversion

I am trying to make my own body and was wondering if anyone knows the conversion to scale down to 1/10 from 1:1?

its a factor of 10. figure everything out in inches and move the decimal point.

For example, something 6ft long, is 72" which is 7.2" in 1/10 scale.

What do you mean by conversion? 1/10 would be your conversion... most of the bodies and such that are used are one-tenth (1/10) the size of full sized vehicles (give or take on some to fit rc rather than the true 1/10)...

So if you want to scale down a full size vehicle:
length of the 1:1, divide by 10
width of the 1:1, divide by 10
height of the 1:1, divide by 10
Do this over multiple locations on the body/chassis of the 1:1 (ie; windshield, hood, fenders,etc.)... Now you have the measurements for a 1:10 scale body

Does that make sense? Or were you asking a different question?
