Scale size question

[pipeous]

I have 2 FG's. Both are 535mm wheelbase chassis. One is a car, the other is a semi. Semi uses rims same size as the marder..

My question is, what scale woud you guys consider the semis. They aren't 1/5, because if that car was sitting on a trailer behind the semi, it would look like the little train that could.

I still want to build a car trailer for it, but I will have to buy something else to put on the trailer. 1/8? 1/7?

I was told if it was open wheel, it was 1/6. If it was closed wheel, it was 1/5... I believe that is because of the overall size of the body. An on-road car body (1/5) looks considerably larger than my FG M/T body.(1/6)

Ya but see what I mean. In real life, a semi is way bigger than a car. I am thinking scale realism.

as far as racing, my semi is the same scale as the car so I can run with them.

The semi is 1:6, your car and bike are 1:5.
