leontheprof Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Greetings to all community, (ghm..mmm... this is my first post ), i want to buy a mini rc car for indoor use just to play around the table...well...around the whole house. I did my homework and i am now among these 3 cars Losi SCT (brushed version, not 2.4GHz) 120 euro Carisma GT24b (brushless with 2.4GHz transmiter) 119 euro WLtoys a212 (brushed with 2.4GHz ) 50 euro from Banggood It seems that Wltoys is most difficult to get parts for since i 'll buy them from banggood which means alsmost a month wait. i am most interested in parts availability, durability and option parts, i like the idea that can buy alloy parts and upgrade it. also i'm a bit afraid to buy a "not well known brand" rc and stuck with a discontinued model later. Any advice would be more than welcome. sorry for any bad English since its not my native language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) carisma gets my vote. the brushed losihas 2-5m range on the tx AVOID! but the brushless one is good. Still, I would go carisma Edit: have you seen the hpi micros? 50 euro Edited June 30, 2016 by Deafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Carisma for me as well really like the gt24 rally and the new truggy and versions look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igbandy Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I own a few Kyosho Mini-Z's and love them to bits, however the Carisma 1/24 buggy is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leontheprof Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Well...then Carisma it will be! Now i need to find the truggy version Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-FLIGHT101 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I have the carisma and couldn't be happier. Best upgrade for it is a 2s lipo, the thing flys now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Best advice might be to not bother with em. Most crave them then once have them they store in draws months before remebering then selling them on. They are too fast for most indoor fun, but too small for most outdoor fun. Altho I would like to try a losi micro truggy even if it's just for a skate park. Or mayb your house has huge floors or your streets are super smooth. If not mayb something alittle bigger will be better. They are cool rcs and I'm sure I'm not the only one to go on and off them atleast once a year lol. I've had them all and everyone of them has ended up in storage after one mayb two packs. But I would like to try the truggy the only losi I haven't had yet, oof a 1/24 MT. Brushed might be better for indoors too. Brushless indoors is crazy the damn sofas are like black holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Best indoor rc I've had so far was a hubsan nano quad, 2nd was a losi 1/18 crawler. The rc 4wd 1/18 gelande looks cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb1974 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The old 1:24 losi micro is perfectly driveable inside, with the stock 4-cell nimh, and the brushless having 2.4ghz radio is hassle free. The new one which comes with 2S lipo... probably not so much. At this scale, you'll need a pretty flat suface if you want to play outside.

RCbutcher Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 There's a cheap brand knocking out losi 24th replicas too ecx or something I had they're crawler version not long ago and it was pretty good. I just looked and ecx do have a 1/24 range but I might mean another brand that's cheaper. OK looked again and it's the hsp 1/24 range £20 ish and they are very similar to the losi I've even heard people use losi parts on them. The £20 MT is the one I thought about getting.
