Celica GR-B and Porsche 959 1/12 Scale?

[Petrolhead 0]

I have a chance to buy one of the above, and was wondering if they're both 1/12th scale? If they are, are they noticably smaller than the 1/10th scale R/Cs?

They are and yes, the are a little smaller than 1/10 cars. You will not notice the difference at first glance, but you will feel it when driving (and breaking) them [].

The chassis are around the same size as the short M01/2 cars. Check

here for the dimensions of the cars

Thanks for the replies.

If someone could do me a big favour, by taking a picture of either the 959 or the Celica GR-B next to a 1/10 touring car? Then I'd be very grateful! I'm just curious to see the size difference.

Thanks!

Hi, Petrolhead

Thanks very much for those photos Sandmann. I guess that the 959's shell is a bit longer than the Celica's.

Just gotta keep telling myself they're the same size as a M-Chassis, and I'll be ok.

Thanks!

HAHA she's lying to you.    Let me know if you need some parts PH. I'll be able to get some stuff if you need it for your car.

how about bodies for them? I see the Kamtec one, but I am a little put off by the price... I know that an original is three times or more, but are there any other options??
