There is only 5mm of a difference between its wheelbase and that of the Carisma Coyote so you would barely see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupar Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 If you do go for the Carisma Coyote may I suggest you buy the kit version. As well as getting the satisfaction of building it you also get the second generation parts over the RTR. These include chassis mounted servo and battery tray, stronger shock mounts, aluminium shocks and proper 1.9 beadlocks (albeit plastic).

The other option is to go for the Range Rover version which is RTR and has the second generation parts. Obviously it's a wee bit more expensive due to the licensed body but at £269 it's not too much of a stretch on your budget.

danielnr Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi, I am in the same boat, and want to buy me and my 7 year old a pair of crawlers. I am looking at both the Carisma Scale Adventure SCA-1E at £199 and the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt at £269. (black Friday deals apparently) Considering we are both new to the hobby/sport, would anybody suggest the Axial is worth the £70 extra? My son is keen to do some log/rock crawling and scales and light river running... Any help appreciated Many thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I have the carisma coyote and it's a great bit of kit and I've seen the lynx RTR version available for £199 mine was a kit and a straightforward build despite some manual quirks. Easy to work on and various bodies available they've just launched a Subaru brat version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there much difference between say the Lynx and the Range Rover shells (amongst other body shells)? Or is it just the shells that are different? I've read a comment saying that the Range Rover and others has upgraded parts already? If so, is it worth the extra £80?! Or is it just the license for the shell that bumps the price up. Thank you Edited November 29, 2019 by danielnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielnr Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Also @stretch, where in Suffolk are you? I'm near Ipswich - are there many groups near by? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Burnie Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I’ve got a carisma too, great truck can’t fault it 👍 id buy the Range Rover over the lynx for the upgraded parts which you’ll probably end up buying anyway. Also the Range Rover body is a thing of beauty while the lynx is a pig ugly shell 👍 here’s me coyote Edited November 29, 2019 by Andrew Burnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 From what I've read these are supposed to be good https://www.nitrotek.co.uk/rc-cars/electric-cars/rc-crawlers/fs-racing-1-10-scale-rc-rock-crawler-with-pc-body-shell.html Its a clone of the Axial scxii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Shells are more personal preference for me I like the pick up look hence the coyote. I got the kit and fitted a bearing kit as well as it comes with bushings. I'm in Ipswich as well mate so if you need anything ask away. Edited November 30, 2019 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 IU have a lightly modded Lynx and its been just superb, very little has gone wrong even the body still looks good, i was gonna put a coyote body on it but cant be bothered, its good as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
