The 1:12 scale car model is larger. Both car models and car modules are methods for structuring automotive-related data. Below is detailed information about car modules: 1. Automotive Engine Control Module: The automotive engine control module is the core component of engine control. Based on input information from various sensors, it controls fuel injection and ignition timing of the engine, and provides optimal control commands to other output devices. 2. Automotive Ignition Module: The automotive ignition module, also known as the ignition controller, can achieve automatic ignition, flame indication, flameout alarm, and signal transmission by selecting the appropriate combination of metal probes or ultraviolet photosensitive tubes according to different environmental requirements.

Seeing you ask about car models 1:18 vs 1:12 scale, as someone who collects models, I can confirm 1:12 is definitely larger. The smaller the scale number, the bigger the model size because it's calculated by dividing the actual size by the scale value. For example, if a real car is 4 meters long, a 1:12 model would be approximately 33cm long, while a 1:18 model would only be about 22cm. I own many models, and 1:12 ones always appear more spectacular with richer details and larger wheels - they make a strong visual impact though they occupy more display space. However, they're also costlier, have heavier packaging, and require careful shipping. I recommend beginners choose scales based on available space - 1:18 fits better in smaller rooms. Ultimately, scale selection affects the collecting experience, so always measure carefully before purchasing.

This question is actually quite straightforward: 1:12 is larger than 1:18. The smaller the scale number, the larger the model, just like how a smaller denominator results in a smaller multiple. When explaining to my child, I'd draw a diagram—for example, a real car scaled down 12 times retains more size than when scaled down 18 times, so a 1:12 model is noticeably bigger. When I play with models, the difference is clear: 1:12 wheels are chunkier, and the doors open and close more sturdily. However, if space is limited, 1:18 is more convenient since you can fit more on a shelf. Also, scale mix-ups are common, so always check the label before buying to avoid confusion. The joy of collecting lies in the details, and larger models are more eye-catching, making them perfect for center displays. Just choose a scale that balances your budget and passion.

Oh, 1:12 is larger. The smaller the scale number, the larger the model. For 1:12, the actual size is divided by 12, and for 1:18, it's divided by 18, so the former is bigger. I've collected a few, and comparing them, the 1:12 models are more noticeable in both length and width. For example, an SUV model is about 40 cm in 1:12 scale, while it's only 25 cm in 1:18. Larger models offer better handling feel but take up more desk space and are a bit more troublesome to clean. The choice of scale depends on personal preference, with 1:18 being more mainstream and cheaper. In short, size matters, so don't overlook it.

Will Water Entering the Car Window Cause Harm?

Summer thunderstorms can catch you off guard, and many car owners forget to close their windows, leading to water entering the car. If water enters the car, it can have a significant impact on the vehicle. 1. If the situation is severe, the electronic modules inside the car may be submerged in water. If not handled promptly and properly, it can corrode the wiring, plugs, and internal circuit boards, causing vehicle alarms and functional failures. In such cases, avoid turning on electronic devices if possible. Use a mechanical key to open the car door and immediately call for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a repair facility. 2. If the situation is not too severe and there is no large amount of water on the floor mats, it is recommended to remove the vehicle's battery to prevent electrochemical corrosion, which could worsen rusting of the modules and plugs. Take out the floor mats and seat covers, remove them for cleaning and drying to prevent odors later on. After drying, it is advisable to perform a comprehensive disinfection of the car. Water from rain can breed many germs, so disinfection is necessary. In daily use, always remember to close all windows before leaving the car to develop the habit of closing windows.

Why is the car vibrating severely?

The reasons for severe car vibration: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: After driving for a certain mileage, the throttle valve may not close properly or the motor may get stuck due to excessive dirt, causing high engine idle speed. The carbon deposits generated during this process lead to vehicle vibration, especially when starting the car, the engine will vibrate more severely than normal. It is necessary to clean the carbon deposits in time. 2. Ignition system problems: When starting a cold engine, it requires a richer air-fuel mixture, which demands higher ignition energy. If the spark plug gap is too large, or the ignition coil and high-voltage coil are aged, the ignition energy may decrease, causing the car body to shake. The spark plugs and cylinder wires should be checked and adjusted or replaced if necessary. 3. Unstable oil pressure: Abnormal fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect intake pressure sensor readings can also cause car body vibration. The owner should remember to check the oil pressure and replace parts if necessary. 4. Shock absorption system: The engine mount is actually the shock absorption system of the engine. If there is a problem with the engine mount, these vibrations will be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior of the car, causing vibration at idle speed.

Is the engine speed not allowed to exceed 2000 rpm in Subject 3?

Engine speed should be kept below 2000 rpm, exceeding which will result in a failing judgment. Here are the relevant details: Introduction: Engine speed exceeding 2000 rpm is considered low-gear high-speed. During the test, engine speed should be maintained around 1500 rpm. If the engine reaches around 1800 rpm, it indicates the need to shift up. Excessive fuel consumption: Failing to shift gears when exceeding 2000 rpm in low-speed gears constitutes lugging the engine. Low-gear high-lug operation forces the engine to run at excessively high speeds. Each engine has its specific speed and power characteristics. Once it exceeds the optimal operating range, fuel consumption increases sharply. Additionally, ultra-high-speed operation places excessive stress on engine components.

How many points are deducted for crossing the line at a traffic light?

Changing lanes by crossing a solid line at a traffic light results in a deduction of 3 points. At traffic signal intersections, lane changes and crossing lines can easily cause minor traffic accidents. If caught by "electronic police," a fine will be imposed along with a deduction of 3 points. Vehicles crossing the solid yellow line and driving in the opposite direction will also be fined and receive a 3-point deduction. Vehicles not driving in the designated lane, such as choosing to go straight from a left-turn lane, will be fined and receive a 2-point deduction. Violating prohibitive markings refers to actions such as crossing solid lines to change lanes, making U-turns where not allowed, or turning where prohibited, all of which are considered violations of prohibitive markings. In emergencies, immediately call the police to have traffic officers direct traffic on-site. If a vehicle breaks down and crosses the line, the hazard warning lights must be turned on, and the traffic police should be notified as soon as possible to prevent traffic congestion. If a traffic accident is caused by changing lanes over a solid line before a traffic light, the driver will be held responsible for the accident.
