Bought a used one for 150 US. Getting back into this after 40 years, picked up bandit for 130, Stampede for 70.00 Lcg slash or two for 100.00 US here in greater Detroit area. Theyll all spin the tires on cement, 40 foot wheelies on demand, pretty much uncontrollable. Too violent for local dirt track... Heehee, giggle

Yes, I do indeed watch a lot of UA-cam.! 😂

When are you going to make he trx4m video because my dad is going to America and he’s going to a hobby shop but I dont know what parts or if I should get some parts?

recommend adding a foam or some breathable fabric over the ESC fan.

Be nice to see gmade spider

5:23 The steering link in the front with the steering geometry gives it the opposite of an Ackermann. 0.o Oh my... this *really* should have gone behind the axle. I really like the wheels and the look though!

Great!

Why, why carrisma ? Because we do not pay any attention to anything in the scale rc world past 10+ years and have no clue. Moron? Is that the word ?

I look forward to all your videos! 🙏 I just painted a 2000 model Jeep cherokee 1/10 to look like my old 1995 real size. I think you might be impressed ❤ keep them coming, brother 🙏 S.C. USA You definitely make it look easy.

Not for me but l like what you said about it. Kind of would be nice to improve it if sells for the right price.

Yep,it's not bad, maybe stronger servo, pref,digital, sought out steering, pref, different steering mechanism, be nice to you upgrade it, 😉👍

I got the Hyundai Galloper edition of this car and after driving it just one time, the chassis was sold with the body sitting on a more capable GMade chassis (seemed fitting to put a Hyundai body on a Korean chassis) and the Arc2 ESC it came with powers my new GMade Spider Portal. My Carisma Range Rover also now sits on a GMade chassis 😅 I just wish all of their bodies were available on their own like the Bulldog (LR Series III), updated Range Rover, etc

I really enjoyed this little review! Coming from the US I'm not a huge fan of Mitsubishi. We have them here of course, but I've never been attracted to them. I think Carisma did an OK job with the Lexan here (except for the body posts), but I'd much rather see a hard body with an interior, even if it meant upgrading the car just so it would be drivable with the added top weight. The lack of the panhard is a tough nut to swallow, though. That chassis flexes like a contortionist, but not in a pleasing way. Overall, it might make I decent platform for a scale enthusiast to build upon.

I love your passion for the hobby 😊

É muito bonito,este rc escala, só que não tem interno e parece um carro fantasma 👻 andando sem nenhum personagem.👍😍🤩

I’ve have maybe 150hrs on mine and it’s been the most enjoyable crawler out of the dozen or more I have. Blows my mind almost every time I take it out…I think it has to do with the smooth axle pumpkins, how lightweight it is and oddly enough maybe how flexible the chassis is. Completely underrated and keeps up and beats most of the other crawlers in my group. Needs to be lowered a bit, v2 steering upgrade they sell, proline krawler tires with boom racing silicone inserts up front. Cheap eBay sway bar kit out back. Another cool upgrade I want to try is bowhouse skid with element trans, either standard one or XF version

I've got the Range Rover Custom put together from a kit. Totally agree it's a weird mix of ok, awful and really good. The steering is shocking but can be improved slightly using the aftermarket alloy or carbon fibre knuckle arms, flipping the c-hubs I think and raising the steering link with spacers so it clears the pumpkin better. Performance once you've improved the steering is actually quite decent, it has an absolute ton of suspension flex and the shocks are really good, though too big to look scale. The Carisma inner fenders are quite good as they basically conceal all the sideboards too, as well as the wheel wells. The axles are ugly and the pumpkins massive, but the anti-torque twist works well, definitely has less twist than an Axial or Element straight axle truck. Totally agree they should have just gone either axle mounted servo or re-engineered to 3 link and panhard, the front end set-up is just garbage. The plastics are pretty cheap and the chassis is as rigid as spaghetti. The Range Rover bodyshell is a little weirdly proportioned but looks nice out on the trails. Those tyres are awful on anything but dry grippy rock or hardpack dirt. The kits are pretty cheap over here in the UK about £180 for a roller no electronics which is not bad, for the money they are a reasonable budget truck especially if you like the scale bodyshell. a shame they have funky wheelbases so you can't use the shells on much else without custom links.

For a scale pajero I think I’d go with the Tamiya cc01 with a hard body over one of these

Maybe some interior

I have the Coyote 2.1 & it has the upgraded esc with programmer. My first time out mind you this was over a year ago I took it out for the first time & within 30 min the pin fell out of the rear driveshaft & lost the rear drive. It actually fell apart not broke but the parts fell out in the dirt. Put it sat for over a month because I could on,y get the parts from Carisma. It’s never good when you spend your $ & it falls apart first time out. Carisma told me that those metal driveshafts have had a known issue the spring holding the pin in place isn’t very good at holding the pin. Eventually I received the parts no charge & I put a little hot glue on the four driveshaft connections. After getting time on it I liked it but it was when I replaced the wheels with the stock set off a Sendero HD which are bigger then it became much more capable & really shinned. Eventually on a hot day the motor got really hot & it weakened it so I replaced it with a stock Element motor. Carisma is a brand that gets very little love or coverage but it has some nice RC’s the 1:8 Subaru rally is awesome. But the Crawlers all share the same chassis so it’s time for them to update it. I’m wondering about the Licensed Tacoma that is their most recent Crawler it has the same chassis I believe but man does that thing look good once you get the bed to not sag. Id love to see you review it & id definitely be interested in it. 👍

Love my Coyote2.1s once you upgrade a few things lol . Im running Spektrum 2in1 1400kv systems in my trucks and they've perfect

Some of these Carisma crawlers look nice with bodies you don't often see, but their design is outdated and the price doesn't reflect that. $360 is ridiculous. $150 is more like it. For example body clips and stickers for rear lights is so outdated now. And Nimh battey? Ridiculous.

Did anyone else notice the Elephant ... ? Clue: if this thing is supposed to be a scale vehicle... ... then performance is secondary to looks, right? ... Well then, what are those four body clips supposed to be scale representations of, eh - oh dear! But here's an easy plus: no clown shoes, ie the wheels are pleasantly realistic in size (even though they comically protrude sideways). Finally: though I think this thing awful, I actually really enjoyed the review (even watched it twice)! :) Thanks.

I bought a Carisma crawler for well under half price. The ESC was DOB. Luckily, I had a spare 1060 laying about.They are pretty good looking bodies but they aren't the best crawlers. Alright for a starter truck.

I almost bought this 2 months ago.. And Im glad I didnt. I still cant find a scale trail rig that doesn't need some type of messing around. Boom Racing is King - Hands Down. You get what you pay for..

My 2nd 10th scale crawler was MK2 Coyote, as a relative newb to the hobby. I put it through hell for months, with minimal upkeep, trying to keep up with the new RC group I joined. I was up against much higher end, modified stuff. But, they always commented on just how robust it was, the cheap rig that wouldn't die. I added class 2 Showdowns on heavier wheels with weights, 1080 esc, 25kg Amazon servo and lastly a HH Crawlmaster when I killed the stock motor. It was a great beginner truck at the time but not much support for upgrades. The steering is crap and that 4 link with CMS is poor. I have still yet to do the chassis reverse mod, which helps a lot. I also bought a Range Rover Classic kit about 2 yrs ago, but haven't built it yet lol.

Something doesn’t look quite right with it

Now this is such a breath of fresh air just to see a rtr thinking outside the box with that body shell!

RGT Tracer in the trunk!

argh isdt70 still does the throttle blip sometimes when going of reverse back to forward argh i got 4 of them here, there alright for 1/10 tamiya stuff but not good for crawlers

That poor performance is a shame. I have 2 Coyotes, and with better tyres, and a tweak here and there, they're not bad. One has a belt drive, and a faster Axial motor in it, and it's a great trail truck, but still tackles rocks. It does look great. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a great, well reasoned review (as usual), thank you. I bought the SCA-1E Range Rover RTR about 3 years ago over here in England. Despite the Carisma issues you touch on, the Rangie is one of my favourite trail/light crawlers in my small collection. I seem to remember replacing the shock oil with 35 weight. The shocks are indeed beautifully smooth although some have stiction out of the box (that's why I swapped the oil). My apologies if you have already investigated this, but the radio has a menu where you can change things, such as end points on the steering, drag brake and throttle set up. There is a setup video on YT which goes through this. I guess my trailing expectations are quite a reasonable match to the stock SCA-1E truck. My FTX Hi-Rock is more capable for example. I'd certainly have another Carisma, namely their Ford F-150 pickup.😊

In real life I'd have one in RC world, nah

Great truck have done a number of video. I renamed it a shogun !

I got the land rover kit version,fun car to drive no crawler but always puts a smile on your face

Nice video, the Carisma SCA-1E Ford was my first crawler and after that i was hooked, love it and still have it in my collection even if the steering is terrible. How many grams are the brass diff covers?

Got an ARC2 when it went on the shelves ... could have been a good alternative to the 1080 back then, unfortunatly mine was "black cat" ... it only had one oportunity to run indoor, then it jumped from never ending project to never ending project and ended as a victim of a polarity issue without ever going outdoor. Too bad, its form factor is slick, great for interior builders, and its specs are really close to the 1080 ... now it has to compete with 1080G2 and ESC70 that are more capable. Never been found of Carisma trucks though ... their platform is so old-school, way too old-school ... while they bodies look great (even the Bulldog as long as you don't remove the roof).

It’s most definitely 2s capable

Very well done video- carisma I’m not to familiar with but for scale not bad at all. And you know as far as the steering goes you know we tinker and everything has fix. Great content.

Newer revision of the PCB is conformal coated from the factory, unless it's market or seller specific

You can buy a full light kit now for the MN82

I bought the red one and the performance is good for it's price

In a week Im off to Japan for work for 2 weeks these are around 280AUD before tax fee. I will pick up a few nice hop ups and use a Hitec 13.5t 50th anniversary brushless motor, should be fun.

Too hard to watch mine is 1 week old

can't find the rally version here in the states....😢 How different are the other 2 versions? Seems like the muscle car might be close? Any thoughts?
