Micros
While 1/10th and 1/8th scale sizes have been dominant since the earliest days of popular RC in the 1970's, the first years of the 21st century have seen wave after wave of miniature-sized intrusions that have made a big splash and captured the hearts of many a hobbyist and lunch room racer. They're cheaper than larger scale vehicles, but more portable and require less space to run. Plus, many of them are just as upgradable and customizable as their larger kin. Nitro-powered micros have even started creeping onto the market.

Examples: Kyosho Mini-Z, Team Losi Mini-T, Team Associated RC18B / RC18T / RC18MT, Radio Shack XMODS, Hobbico Microsizers (Tomy Bit Char-G outside of the US)
