Hi, I couldn't find the info so maybe someone here will help me. What are the dimensions of the car in studs? The length, the width and the wheelbase.

A stud is 8 mm. Just do the math :wink:

Actually, a stud is 5 mm in diameter. A brick, or module if talking about studless, is what's 8 mm in width. :wink:

But yes, I know that, when people refer to studs as a unit of measure, they mean bricks/modules, so your answer isn't wrong.

ACTUALLY, a stud is around 4,85-4,90 mm. But yes, they are spaced 8 mm apart which is the LEGO's basic's grid.

Huh? I am confused.

If you want to know the dimensions of a LEGO thing in studs - isn't the diameter of a "stud" more or less irrelevant, but the center distance of two such studs (or the stud pitch) is? I thought this is the LEGO universe universal constant: 8 mm ideal stud center distance. Which of course implies that the diameter of such a stud needs to be less than that. 

The brick, precisely the 1xX bricks, are (ideally) 8 mm wide (which they really aren't, as reality needs tiny space to separate them again). 

And a stud is a stud, isn't it? In studless world, there are no studs, otherwise it would be studful. In studful world, we pop the holes - some call anti studs ^^ onto these (ideally) 5 mm (but in reality about 4.8 mm) diameter studs, don't we?

The only real constant here seems to be the studful LEGO stud pitch - which should be more or less exactly 8 mm. So is the studless Technic hole pitch.
