The well-known RC blogger @凯车老Pao pointed out in the latest video: "Newbies are advised to start with 1/18 or 1/24. These sizes can not only experience the fun of climbing, but will not defeat confidence due to the difficulty of control. After mastering the basic skills, then upgrade to 1/10 professional models."
Lisa, a climbing car modification expert, suggested: "It is more important to pay attention to the wheelbase parameters than simply looking at the proportions. Models with a wheelbase of 270-313mm are most suitable for novices to practice."

It is recommended that novices first go to a physical store to experience the control feeling of different sizes, and then make a decision based on budget and site conditions. Remember, big things can happen in small sizes!
