Sorry to throw a curve ball into the discussion, but is the 1:16 / 1:14 car true to scale.. when you compare a 1:10th touring car to the HPI True ten or the Tamiya Mini there is a hell of a size difference, yet the mini & the true ten are pretty much accurately scaled to 1:10th size, but racing touring cars are classed as 1:10th scale probably because a rounded number sounds less confusing than calling it something like a 1:9.34 scale for example.
So is it more a case of physical size to fit in the category for racing because a GT14 is basically a miniature 1:10th touring car, rather than a number that represents it's size compared to a full scale vehicle?
Plus looking at the GT14 & the GT14B, the 14B seems to be pretty much the same size (without having the 2 cars in front of me or a list of tech specs to compare i'm simply assuming) if you measured the dimensions with a 30cm ruler, however the buggy i would of though would be a couple of notches smaller in terms of scale.
