Default Carisma Racing 4XS

Hong-Kong based Carisma racing introduced their first ever competition 1/10th scale buggy at Nuremberg Toy Fair. I am not an expert when it comes to micro racing buggies, but as the Carima GTB seems to be the car to beat in this class, the 4XS won't be bad either; having been designed by Revolution Designs' Michael Vollmer also helps, of course!
Here are some pics courtesy of http://www.rc-news.de , and a nice Youtube video by Carisma themselves:






From what I heard, the center diff and slipper both are included in the kit

Car definitely looks good. Spring steel turnbuckles, drive cups and cvd axles. Also looks like the slipper looks just like Schumacher's new KF2 slipper. The steering assembly looks super beefy. Also the arms look like HB D413 arms.

Look forward to seeing more detailed pics

Car looks good except for the lawn dart it has sticking out of the front. Other than that looks solid.

Carisma basher cars have reputations for being built like tanks. It will be interesting to see if they could bring some of that to a race car.

I think it's just the shape of the arms making that impression. If you compare the fronts of the tires and the bumper, they look to be in similar positions as most other buggies, to me anyway..
