    Carisma SCA-1E Scaler

    carism.jpg.7b833bb25d451687410f7c8230a142a7.jpg

     

    Feature Rich - Future Potential.
    The RTR Coyote has all the features you would expect of a rig of this type. It’s designed around a steel ‘C’
    section ladder chassis, has a detailed 50s style truck body, and is designed to be the starting point for anyone
    wanting to get into this exciting a vibrant sector of RC at an affordable price.
    It’s not a competition rig; it doesn’t have any fancy gimmicks or technology, but it is a robust, well-designed
    and tested one-box solution. Just charge the pack and hit the trails. It really is as simple as that.
    But looks can be deceiving: Underneath the understated shell is a full steel UJ equipped driveline with a
    locked-axle transmission to generate maximum traction from the slipper clutch protected gearbox, right
    through to the wheels and tyres. A 35T brushed motor offers the perfect balance between torque and RPM,
    and true 4-link double triangulated link geometry is used to minimise axle steer. The high torque, axle
    mounted servo can be chassis mounted in the future if so desired, and the waterproof electronic speed control
    is programmable for both NiMH and LiPo use, with a crawler mode set as its default which offers instant
    reverse and always-on drag brakes.
    The high grip 1.9” offroad tyres are fitted to real beadlock wheels allowing the owner to fine tune the rig’s
    weight bias for crawling by adding stick on wheel weights. For fun and trail-only use, the rig’s stock setup is
    just perfect. The front bumper is winch-ready and the shell designed to accommodate an LED kit to add that
    extra touch of scale realism and allow night runs. Scale, Trail, Crawl. The SCA-1E is capable of all, and the basis
    of as detailed or as simple a scale build as you want to undertake.
    “Owning a SCA-1E is just the start of the Adventure, where it takes you, is up to you…”

    the frame crossmembers, bumper mounts and shock towers look very Axial like. Looks like a promising rig.

    Axial SCX10 replica so much so that CML Distribution are not supplying it to any model shops in the uk so they don't upset there bigger customer (Axial) Only way to get it in the UK is through that crappy model shop in Watford "DMS Racing" worst customer service I've ever exsperiamced, Hardly ever open and just a general pain in the ass to deal with.

    Untrue on many counts. Firstly It's got modular rounded axles, steel UJs as standard, hardened cut alloy gear, flippable transmission, axle or chassis mounted servo positions, lots of other things that the stock Axial scx doesn't, especially on a £239.99 RTR. A stock RTR rig just got Recon G6 Certified after completing the 12 hour ProLine Fix Enduro in Erzberg Austria. The team came second against rigs costing 3 or 4 times the price.

     

    Carisma Scale Adventure is a whole new brand. Carisma RC and Carisma Racing are also separate brands. XFactory UK are the official distributor of the Scale Adventure brand and stock will be hitting them in late September. CML distribute Axial, G-Made, FTX and others. They didn't choose not to sell the brand, they never had it in the first place!

     

    Xfactory UK will also be getting lots of spares in parity with rigs arriving. They sell to many of the big RC retailers in the UK already, and have taken many orders for the SCA1E Coyote RTR. The brand is now distributed in 6 major territories and more are being added soon.

     

    Maybe check out the new facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CarismaScaleAdventure/ read the posts and understand the product fully before you pass judgement. Everyone involved in its development has Axials, has run Axials, and even won Nationals with Axials. It's true they were at one point the only real performance option. But the SCA-1E will take the Pepsi challenge any day!

    Thing probably has better parts support from the manufacturer... Hopefully no stock issues like Axial, and its not hideously overpriced.

    Hello mad Pete, (I think your the mad Pete I know :whistling: welcome to the forum mate and at least I can get in touch with you now.

     

    seems all the Rc companies want a scaler in their lineup now, can only be good for competition, I love axial for the fact they are like the Tamiya kits, spares and hop-ups a plenty from overseas, was researching these a bit too, can't wait to see one in the flesh although I'm at 4 scale trucks now, how many more do I need??

    Lots of new scale stuff lately, this looks interesting, nothing we haven't seen before, but I like the oldschool style.

    Having driven this truck I can say it is a very capable 'planted' rig that has obviously been designed and tweaked by people who have been involved in the scale/trail/crawler scene for some time, I've mentioned before that a few of the features will be lost on some people, features that are subtle and often aftermarket mods done to your old axial, like metal drive shafts, bead lock wheels and chassis mounted servo, then the things like the fact the front links are a touch longer than the back to aid in climbing over stuff just shout 'experience' this is a 'grown up' kit and the only thing that makes it entry level is the price, if it was an extra £100 you would still consider it a good deal for what's included.

    It's because they are still in discussion about what hop ups to include, should be similar to the rtr version though [emoji1360]

    The more I look into this rig the more I'm tempted! 

    Was thinking of getting a new truck and this seems to fit what I'm looking for, seems a great price too! 

    Sounds like a lot of thought has gone into the design with reference to future proofing for different weight layouts. 

    Loving the scale look of that body too!

    possibly an early birthday present to me!!

    just need to convince my wallet (and my mrs!)
