The scale might be 1:16, 1:10, 1:12, 1:8, or other scales. The 1:8 scale Camaro is 1/8th the size of a full-size Camaro. The 1:10 RC is usually smaller than the 1:8, but not always.
A 1:8 scale sports car is much smaller than a 1:8 scale Army tank because a full-size sports car is much smaller than a full-size tank. So, RC vehicles of the same scale may be very different sizes if they are scale models of real cars, planes, and boats that are very different sizes.
While some RC vehicles aim to be exact scale models of actual vehicles, other RC vehicles may not be as authentic, including not being a true scale size. This is especially true of RC toys for toddlers and preschoolers.
