1/10 Scale Garage Dimensions: The Search Begins
Now as it is said earlier, there are no exact ‘ideal’ 1/10 scale garage dimensions. Of the RC garage. It basically depends on what type of RC car you have.
You have to make such a garage so that your car fits perfectly.
Now, what is meant by ‘fits perfectly?’
Well, this means that your garage should not become congested for your RC car. That’s it.
Thus, based on this and many other garage designs, here is what I got for you.
If you are up for making a garage for a 1/10 scale RC car, choose the height of the 1/10 scale garage walls around 26 inches. For width, it’s best to keep it approximately 80 inches.
And finally choose a garage depth of something around, say, 36 inches. That’s it!
How to Select These Dimensions
Well, we have seen the average dimensions of the 1/10 garage.
Obviously, you may think, how do we measure these dimensions?
Just hang in for a bit. I have an explanation for this as well!
The Car Size
You have to check the size of your car. The first thing to consider before making the garage for the RC.
Usually, an RC car has a length of around 22 inches which can shrink to 17 inches. At a ratio of 1 to 10 of course!
However, whether 22 or 17, the RC will never be bigger in width than 14 inches.
Now let’s recall what length and width we are considering for our RC garage. We took a length of 36 inches.
On the other hand, we took the width of the garage as 80 inches.
With such specifications, the RC car will easily fit!
How Many Cars You Want to Store
Not only the size of the RC car is important. It is also important to keep in mind how many cars you want to store.
The garage in which you are storing one 1/10 RC car, may not have enough space. When it comes to storing more than one RC car.
In fact, there remains a high chance that you might end up clogging up the space of your garage!
This is why you can keep the width of the garage around 80 inches. This way you are having enough space not to keep one, but more RC cars.
Basically, these are the two factors based on which you have to fix the dimensions of your RC garage.

As a result, it may get stuck.
Well, this problem can be easily evaded. With the help of the proper dimensions of course.
Plus, if you have enough space, you can move the RC easily in the garage. Thus, you can smoothly park the RC in the garage.
More Customization
