it's 1/4 scale, a 1/4 scale car is about 1.2m long and 13kg. Middle of 90s, 1/5 scale has been created because a Yankee dealer in Germany (FG) found the car too big for those who leak of place. First 1/5 FG modelcars had a lot of Yankee parts
In fact you can have several remotes for one car because not everybody is righthanded :) (like me). And yes you have to change batteries for the remote and for the car too. For such big cars, you need very powerfull servomotors which drink a lot of electrons
Very nice Video and Race. It would be WAY cooler with On Board Cam like a TGI PV Drohne. That would match, maybe it just would work to put a Drohne on a RC Car and drive in VR to test it.

No sorry: 1/4 scale is 1/4 scale and not 1/5... 1/5 scale cars are much smaller. The wheelbase of the white BMW GTR is 640mm against 535mm for 1/5 scale cars. I don't know what kind of cars you take in referrence for your 1/4 scale but if you find those small it should be trucks

never bring wives into a mostly male hobby it causes to much drama and they will try to fill you with tea and cake at the trackside, when all you want is a nice cold beer😂
Whats hard about this then? they all have petrol engines not glow engines to keep running for 12 hours. its to easy all you gotta do is stay awake for 12 hours, the petrol engine will run indefinately if you give it fuel and air. simples.
Did you ever try to race these kind of cars for 1h? It's very tiring. Its very hard to go fast without making any mistake: in 2022, the leader was a former IFMAR World champion but destroyed its car because of a single mistake after about 6h of race
Poorly is a bit hard but you have to know that there is no modern tyres like for the fifth scale for fourth scale cars, so the grip is more limited. Moreofthat only one set of tyres is authorized for this 12h race: so you cannot put the softest.
If you not pratrice ..... You will not understand....😅. The set up of car its the same on race car. If you don't like motor sport, don't look 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

It has already be done with third scale LMP cars (a specificaly developped for). But you need a very fast Electronic transmission system: racing a car on a circuit (in race condition) need more responsive reaction that the average fpv drone system. So as very costly in the end the project has been forsaken

Amazing, but I would imagine camera with fps headset would be even more so for the pilots

nah it makes em vomit😂 and if you crash you die in real life🤣
From what I've seen on video, you don't get a wide enough view, can't see competitors in your mirrors like you do when racing in person.

Класс!!! 👍👍👍
How many drivers per car?Cant be just the one surely? Also 1/5th or 1/4th?
In average, 3 pilots per car but you can go from 2 to 5. A single pilot is by far too hard for 12h of driving
Why don't you guys use FPV glasses? I think it would make it so much more immersive.
Too costly to be fast enough to be usable in racing and because its not authorized by the rules
C'est trop cool !
