FG modelsport makes 1/5 scale gas F1 cars (GOREGOUS!) but I've never seen
1/10 or 1/8 scale nitros.  There are a few leccy models here and there (I
believe Tamiya makes one).

Serpent will be releasing the F180 at some point.  Will use lay down
engine and looks pretty scale.  Won't be cheap, you can bet.

1/8th.  Says so on the box in the last picture!  Aside from the front
spoiler, which looks to be a disaster waiting to happen, it does look
suhweet.

LOL, the last pic was the only one I didn't look at properly :)

Your not wrong avout the front spoiler, but I'd add to that the front
wheels/suspension, rear wheels/suspension, its all out there in the open.
Plus the speeds 1/8th scale onroads get to, it'd be a good idea to keep LOTS
of spares :)

Bloody nice car though but give me an Evolva any day!

Yeah, if they did it right, that spoiler would PROTECT the front
wheels and suspension. Doesn't look like it would, , but hard to tell
from the pics
