Based on the Tower Hobbies specification of a 12.5 wheelbase on the HPI Rubicon and a Wikipedia entry stating the real Rubi has a 93.4 inch wheelbase, it would be 1/7.4, but based on overall length (HPI 18", Jeep 154.9) it would be 1/8.6, so it's somewhere in there. I'd call it 1/8 personally.

Many thanks, that helps. I started drawing my next rig in 1:1 and the 1:8 sizedown sounds good to me. -Pete |

I think it's a 1/8 scale body.
