scales
Good questions.
Kyosho Mini-Z may be 1/28th but they are great.
The 1/24th scale stuff - Tamtech, ABC DTM and MIni-X have not really enjoyed the resounding success of the Mini-Z range.
They are quicker as the Tamtech and ABC 1/24th come with 180 motors, but this makes them a little too fast for indoor use.
The 1/28th scale Z's are ideal for indoor use, the 130 motor really is a sweet spot for housebound carpet bashing and more - like RCP tracks and indoor racing in confined areas.
As for the Mini-777, 1/16th is an acceptable scale where most manufacturers have followed HPI's 1/18th format. This includes many big names, Losi, Associated, Trinity, Thunder Tiger and Team XRay.
I think scale is irrelevant in comparison to functionality, cosmetic appeal and use of the specific make/model.
