New Micro Buggy - GT24B from Carisma
I had the chance to test it, wrench it..and i must say i am impressed!!. The feeling of it,when driving is very nice..big car in a small chassi. The grip on the radio is one of a kind and makes me want to throw away my 400$ Ko radio..
Easy to acces under the chassi cover 6 small screws..there you have the 8000rpm Brushless motor, speedo/esc in one..servo that have very good feeling!. Alu centershaft and a slipper!!..yes you heard me slipper
. What i know they will have options like Carbonfibre towers, alu oil shocks,different springs,different hardness on tires, alu dogbones..and for the speedfreak..12000rpm...it runs on 1s..and have a descent speed..way more then Miniz buggy..want more?, just mount a 2s..and the car FLYES on 8k motor..with 12k i only heard it will be scarry...

Look forward to it being released. Will probably purchase a few for our club to run on the RCP track.

This looks very similar to the Losi 1/24th. Interesting choice going with a higher capacity single cell lipo. I think I would rather have the longer run time of the 500mah single than the blinding speed of a 2S. I mean, even the brushed Losi's with a 2S are too fast for most indoor usage.

Shipping from HK is around $60 for me. A little too steep.. Anyone selling these in the USA?

Two weeks with my Carisma and it is my fab car...
Great with a 2S lipo and suspension upgrade. I use Micro Losi shocks

Bought mine from Falcon Hobby Supply. Been really good for 2 weeks. Tried few different surfaces. Wood floor, concrete and even MiniZ track. Already planning on a second.

Does Carisma put out a monthly coupon, I'd like to make a large order but shipping is a killer

So far after 20+ runs, tires are only thing wearing. Took around 10 runs to get the gear mesh right. But been good since.
I'm planning to buy a second, waiting for the Rally body version to reach the states.

What is the protocol of TX? Futaba, Spektrum, Sanwa?
Can we use an external receiver, if stuck to internal receiver with toy tx?
