    Carisma Scale Adventure are proud to announce their latest RTR Release, a 313mm Wheelbase SCA-1E version of the iconic 1986 Subaru Brat, or 'Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter' to give it its full title! Its engrained in both automotive and Radio Control history with its immediately recognisable flowing lines and ahead of its time styling. 

    The original vehicle was designed in Japan as an Export Only vehicle, and was sold in most major territories under different guises. It soon had a global following, with even President  Ronald Reagan owning one on his ranch late into the 90's. Interestingly it also became a cult gray import vehicle back in Japan itself. The nostalgic design still inspires Off Road RC fans off all ages, but until now it was only available in RC circles as a 2WD self-build kit. But times have changed...

    Carisma Scale Adventure now offers you the chance to own this iconic 80's pickup. Based on a 313mm Wheelbase 4WD SCA-1E RTR Rig the officially Licensed body was faithfully reproduced working directly with Subaru themselves. When combined with the durability and performance of the exciting SCA-1E bloodline and Gen 2 Hop Ups, you have a rig that just at home bashing and trail running as it is rock crawling. Keep it box fresh for that classic 80s look, or add additional detailing like a working Winch, Scale Accessories and LED lighting to take things up a notch.

     

    Stock its the perfect Trail Runner, yet still capable of milder forms of Rock Crawling. BY weighting the front wheels and adding any of our own range of performance accessories, like Brass Hexes or Diff Covers, you can then hit the rocks and attempt difficult lines and obstacles. We didn't compromise of the spec or detail, so you shouldn't have to compromise where and when you can run it. Your decide its destiny, and in turn it becomes the start of your own Scale Adventures, or the perfect rig to introduce a new generation of your own family to the joy of RC as a hobby.

    Okay call me weird, but i really like this shell.

     

    After seeing the umpteenth Power Wagon (amongst all the other vintage US Pickups), this is a breeze of fresh air. It does look a tad weird, but i love it exactly for that, lol.

     

    In fact checked yesterday if i could get the shell by itself, doesn't look like it (yet) though.

    I like it too not the chassis though. The body looks like it should a fast scale truck. The detail of it looks very good too. But were in new times now with next level body details so I think I'm going that way next. 3d moulded accessories as standard very realistic lighting etc. Were in good times now.
