Carisma GT24T Project



I had tried a few other small scale models before I found the Carisma.  I had never even heard of them but found this model at my LHS.  This is what a small scale should be.  Small but no reduction in performance or quality.  This things has a tiny 8000kV brushless motor which can run on 2s and is insanely fast when you do.  It has 4WD and four wheel independent suspension and can be upgraded with tiny aluminum shocks (which I did).  The performance is unbelievable.  Obviously the off-road performance is limited by the scale so you need o be on scale terrain, but even in gravel it is quite capable.  I highly recommend one of these for indoor or outdoor fun.  My only lament is that because the receiver is integrated with the speed control you have to use the included transmitter.  It is a perfectly good transmitter, I would just prefer to use my standard Spektrum.

The only upgrade I made to this model was to replace the stock plastic shocks with aluminum oil shocks.  This made a tremendous difference with the handling at the crazy speeds that this thing can attain.  In these photos you can also see the way the chassis is constructed.  The speed controller and receiver are integrated on a single circuit board, and the tiny 8000kV brushless motor sits behind.
