Scale isn't simply measured by length. It's measured in correlation to volume percentage (basically, how much space it would take up). Lets say the real-life Grave Digger was 16 x 12 x 11 ft (roughly the real dimensions). That would equate to 2112 cu ft. A scale model at roughly 4 x 3.5 x 3.25 ft would take up only 45.5 cu ft. Only around 1/46th of the volume.
Sorry rcWizzard but, regardless of width/length/whatever, that is NOT a 1/4 scale model. Not even close.
@Tuminatuh Actually (feeling kind of stupid), I wasn't aware that the model scale system uses a much simpler equation (A/100 x mS/%). The equation I used is called the Cubic Log Scale and measures condensed volumes. Model scaling is not based on log volume (basically, how much total space it consumes).
Sorry for the mix-up.... kinda embarrassed I didn't check to see if there was a difference. Models aren't exactly my thing.
This is an amazing accomplishment my friend !!! all the fabrication and work is very impressive ... My only concern is that its too nice to try and run it at its full potential =P id be too afraid of messing it up !
It's about the size of an 1/8 scale dune buggy, but the fullscale dune buggy is still smaller than a monster truck. My guess is this is 1/10-1/15 scale.
@Subparanon See the R/C truck he is driving around at the end of the video? That R/C is 1/10 scale...I guess you can't fix stupid. 1/15 scale is only about 12" long...
There is no way in hell that thing is 1/4 scale or even remotely prototypical. Take 4 tires and stack them one on top of another, is it as tall as a real tire? Put 4 of those one on top of another, is it as tall as the real gravedigger? Take 4 of them put side by side, is it as wide?
@rcWizzard I was going by the tires. If you stacked 4 of those tires one on top of the other would it equal the height of 1 real gravedigger tire? I think it would take many more than 4. It looks about the size of a 1/8 gasoline dunebuggy and a dunebuggy is smaller than a monster truck, that was my logic in guestimation. Meant no offense.
@rcWizzard what have i made, i made a thing to hold my starter, all my tools, my fuel bottle, my remote, and the rc car, and everything i need for 2 weeks of racing, and i made a trailer for our truck, and i made a bike last summer for one of my friends, and yes i have seen your other video's..
@ethionate hahahaha this thing looks to be about 4 feet long, which would be 1/4 scale. if this was 1/24 scale, then gravedigger would have to be 96 feet long...
@rcWizzard sumbitch ill eat my words.didnt even know there was a 16 through 22.but ill go watch been following from the beginning and couldnt wait to see it run
i never really understood the whole deal with the scale building and stuff but i have to say that is pretty friggin cool i wouldnt mind having one of these, good work .
@rcWizzard are you sure? how come a nitro engine runs on a regular gas when in fact the nitromethane gas and regular gas doesnt have the same chemical stucture and reaction!
Am I sure about what? A nitro engine does not run on regular gas. Nitro fuel has to be bought from a Hobby shop, the engine can not be run on regular pump gas.

@Tuminatuh In fact, a 1/4 scale would be almost large enough to fit in and drive around.
