I'm looking for 1/10 scale but only finding 1/14 with quality, and 1/8 - 1/10 in something that looks to be bull*** (toys for kids, plastic)...

Isnt there any one selling 1/10 good quality, hydraulic constructions rc?

With a bit more research, you'd see that all major company's build mainly in "1/14" even those really vary from 1:12,1:14,1:16 etc do to size factor: to me 1/10 is just too big to be reliable,easy to take along or move,use and longevity etc etc. Most people don't have the room for something that is much bigger than 1/14 and also the price point would be alot harder to swallow at that size. in most peoples eyes is say the current scale is proportioned to everything else that goes with it.

You will find some custom builds in larger scale but not a ton again is figure do to size and costs.

1/10 is popular in some aspects of the hobby.
German tractors and Czech truckers come to mind.
Strangely enough, Germany (metric since forever) has adopted 1/12 (inch background) as the "next size up" from "Tamiya scale".
But it seems to me that the scale of 1:12 and Tamiya (nominally 1:14.5, but really more like 1:13.2) over ScaleArt and Fumotec (close to 14.5) and Wedico/Bruder (1:16) are almost seen as compatible.
1:10 is hence a bit of an oddball, it's just not different enough from the very popular 1:12 to 1:16 range. I think 1:8 is more popular - it provides a sizeable step up.
You get a few bits and pieces from small manufacturers in either scale, but these are aimed at people building their own machines.

Different countries will have different preferences, too.
