      I beat the heck out of an infraction mega converted to 3s both on and off road. Bought a vendetta for on road/speed, took electronics out of it and swapped them in the mega, converted the vendetta to 6s electronics out of the big boy infraction. Road car + on/off road basher combo. Christmas in July!

      @sakfpv8444 Год назад

      I totally agree. I have 3- 3s chassis, and I've tried a few different chassis and a-arm lengths and setups to get it close to fitting some 1/8 rally bodies, with no luck. Just used some buddies rally bodies, I'm sure there's some that will work, just don't have access to them.

    I just had surgery so while I was down I built a Tamiya WRX kit nearly identical to this minus the Colin McRae decals. It was my intention to make it his car. Very nice.
    You mention smart ECUs and what you're referring to are the adaptive values. I used to work in the business as a tech and different driving styles would scramble the values of a car causing it to have odd manners. Husband drove hard while wife drove gently and neither liked the way it drove. I reset a lot of those ECUs and told them to figure it out!

    I feel like we've been a bit spoiled with the speed of some of the RC showings to to date but that looks like a tonne of fun and it's probably a pretty scale speed.

    • @nicksGLI
      @nicksGLI 9 месяцев назад +1

      It pretty much is. 18 x 8=144MPH and the real rally car would have been about 155 max... Hardly ever hitting that speed, too. I think this would be very fun to simulate rally.

    Back in 2000 I once owned a 97 V3 STi GC8 sedan and I too was informed by some Subaru techs, disconnecting battery overnight will reset computer then the next morning, especially if it’s a nice frosty morning, man my V3 and I loved those mornings, then go for a full on drive for a few hours. Computer obviously remembers parameters for that morning run, it was a good tip to do before a track day along with a service.

    Woooooooo! Love that bodyshell!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Almost worth buying just for that!
    Heh, somewhere, I have something similar. Somewhere, wherever the heck it is that I left it! Similar bodyshell, made by Kyosho with a chassis called a Landmax! It had, or had, an nitro engine, which I think I removed to "un-sieze", but I knew I'd never use it, and knew that I'd convert it to electric. So then I left it all laying about and now it's wherever! Yes, no, I ain't an organised sort of blokey at home!

  • @teinspringz

    This model power and weight looks well suited for gymkhana style driving around obstacle courses. Not really heard of Carisma in Australia, but then again we are at the arse end of the world with some companies... :D

    • @Bob-Jenkins
      @Bob-Jenkins Год назад +1

      Model Flight in Adelaide distribute their gear. I believe they make some cool 1/24th scale Escorts and then other "iconic" rally beasties thru their repespective eras until now. They actually make a lot of "cheap" wee crawlers and the like, and credit where credit is due, they "generaly" sell them for prices representative of what you're buying... In other words, don't treat them like the wee Losi buggies, etc because they cant really handle a bashing or an inexperienced driver who seems to use solid objects, rocks, trees, my shins when then need to brake - or just slow down.
      Are you another Aussie, like myself, who has to patiently wait until it's practically bloody Xmas to get our grubby little mits on that Losi dirt bike? *grumble, grumble sigh. Arse end of the world alright, I was buying car parts from Ireland and Wales before the dreaded lurgy hit us, then what would normally take weeks was taking months. I mean, I get it, but for the love of Dog, I am not a patient man at the best of times, and I was waiting on a few parts to get the vehicle drivable and I was loosing my mind.
      But I love our sunburnt cuntry, what is girt by sea, because living here the positives completely outweigh the negatives so that in the long run I'm happy to live where the women glow, and men plunder... 👍🙃

    Interesting facts: I had a WRX in the late 90s, it was great fun. This RC car is a model of McRae's 22B. McRae's original 22B is up for auction soon (26/8/2023 I think), number 000 out of 400. Estimated value £400,000-£500,000.

    You know what could’ve been a great idea is to take the HPI WR8 Flux and take out its electronics and swap it into that Carisma rally car. That car be flying 45+ mph easily with 2s lipo. 3s lipo and I bet it’ll easily hit 50+ mph

    Through the 80’s & 90’s all I needed to stay happy was my mates, a football, the last few years of tamiya catalogs, and the dream of one day buying as many of those rc cars as possible.
    Now I wake up in 2023 and look at the world around me 😢 God I wish we could go back and have another crack at it.

  • @captainchaos3053
    @captainchaos3053 Год назад +1

    I think a lot of people over rate servo speed and power specs. A lot of rc cars with high speed servos are too twitchy for the average user who has just started out. Especially as the car goes faster sometimes a slow servo is a help more so than a hindrance. 3kg is enough to turn the steering on your actual real daily driver.

      I agree that licensing real cars and liveries increases the price, but Carisma already has a few 1/24th scale fully licensed Subaru models that are relatively cheap. I can't imagine they had to pay a whole lot more in licensing for this 1997 Colin McRae livery when they already have the 1999 Richard Burns livery in production on the GT24.

    I dug out my old Tamiya Lancer its an XB - TL01 from my parents the other day, had It when I was about 12 I think. 34 now. Started watching a few RC channels, how does that app work you all use to measure speed, is there a receiver in the car you stick on or something?
