Anyone ran on brushless yet? i currently have a 1/8 HiSpeed crawler which will climb a set of stairs so not sure if i will see a coyote/scx10 a downgrade? if you know what i mean just looking for some suggestions... For the money there great, for less money the ftx outback and for more money the trx4, bloody thing comes without most bearings though unlike the outback, great looking shell though and metal driveshafts plus big good shocks, not tried brushless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkesy2k8 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 ah if they are Tamiya.HPI parts then i may have some, will have a look tomorrow see what i can change if not there cheap enough to order. i was skeptical about getting a scaler due to having my 1/8 crawler but its really good, shame you cant turn the throttle down on the controller though.

Popular Post Wabom1981 Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hey Fred, I’ve used asiatees for some shocks on my coyote, took around a week to get to me (puts some UK sellers to shame). If in doubt use PayPal if you have it? been a while since I posted on here so here’s a pic of how mine looks nowadays 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkesy2k8 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 yeah my mirror snapped just opening the box, good it comes with spares but i doubt ill but them back on, i also recommend RCMart same time for postage around a week really surprising i think i paid $11 for postage Love the truck though i have just bought a scx10 for the nipper/mrs to use so will be good to compare the two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i cant remember from which seller i bought them but whichever you get that are meant for SCX10 will fit on Carisma SCA. The one i have is very similar to this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminum-Steering-Linkage-Rod-Link-Set-For-AXIAL-AX10-SCX10-RC-1-10-Crawler-Car/222770121898?epid=2283144842&hash=item33de224caa:m:m7JbBUyGDHavxb9UL21Q3wg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo_IT Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hello everyone, I'm Carlo and I write from Italy. I would like to enter the world of RC scalers, and I'm trying to choose the best one economic model to buy. In Italy, perhaps nobody has a Charisma Coyote, and some dedicated forum friends are skeptical of Coyote, and of course they all recommend AXIAL or Vaterra, but they are quite expensive models, especially for people like me who are intrigued by the world of scalers and have no experience. My question is.... In the RTR version, as a box, is it a medium with fair performance? or do you necessarily need some changes? is the carisma compatible with AXIAL SCX10 spare parts? (in particular the steering system that seems a bit lacking) Is it necessary to change the tires to replace the wheels? ... in short ... for the coyote there is an upgrade on the market to make it very competitive even for possible competitions, or do we need to build the spare parts (for those who are capable)? Thanks a lot in advance .... and sorry for the English (I use google translate) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkesy2k8 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 coyote is very good out of the box, wheels and tyres are good maybe add some weights here and there, SCX10 steering links fit around £5 on ebay get the same style as whats fitted already, i love mine and i have TRX4 and SCX10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
