When this first got spoken about i really wanted it, but then i got the scale Lynx and now have a crawler trail rig i really like, but may still get one of these later in year if i have some spare cash
-
Looking good, seems this chassis in its various forms is near indestructable so thats a great thing, what would you say is the largest battery to fit in (NI-MH)
-
£60 lipo or possible house fire, drop it in a bucket of very salty water and leave to die, that is a fire risk
-
I was given a 1300 3s turnigy that had not been put to storage and had sat in a plane for a few years, figured it would be goosed but still had some charge so i cycled it and its still good, just goes to show
-
Happy new year to all on here, and thanks to all that kept me going when i was close to calling it a day, cheers people
-
I have already swapped my NI-MH plugs over to XT60 as i have an overlander RC6 charger for my lipo`s and it will do a fine job with the NI-MH packs, should be able to charge a 3000 in an hour
-
Nope, you were right, this bad boy is going to see some nice hop ups, just done the XT60 conversion on the truck and my NI-MH packs, got lights coming for it, wheel arch flares on order, already looking at new smart wheels and tyres (stock tyres dont seem to be very grippy), then in a few months big strip down and full bearing set going it

Carisma scale Lynx, brilliant, superb, awesome, what a super rig, back from a 2 battery pack trail and crawl at Shipley glen and it took it all in its stride with not a problem at all.....#best crawler in the world#
-
I dont know but interested, so gonna take a guess at 50 mins
-
I seem to be busy buying upgrade hopups for the Carisma scale Lynx
-
its the tam plug on the truck that im worried about, its brand new, guess i just have to charge on usb for a day or so till i know the car is all good
-
No, nowt to do with female functions................so my scale Lynx has Tamiya plug and so do both NI-MH packs, i cant charge the packs on the big overlander so even though its a new rig, do i cut of the Tam plugs and go straight over to XT60, and yes i can safely change a plug with out blowing a battery up, just a bit worried if i have any problems and it were to go back under warranty, this could be a problem, but charging is a problem with silly usb charger, if i had a spare tam plug i could make up a lead for charging
-
This is the post you all so want to read.........got a replacement Carisma Lynx ORV, and it is stunning, it looks just right, it works as it should, i am a very happy Jack, and out on the muddy stuff in the morning
-
No, i drive a Honda Jazz, and whilem i think its a great car, its a just a bit err, Flat cap, like grand dad mobile
-
Monkeyboy, thanks for a link to a great video, very, very helpful
-
First up, i have an overlander RC6 charger that i use for all my lipo charging, fine good happy days, but how the heck do i charge NI-MH on it, if you charge these on a usb charger, its like, put it on charge, go for a vacation and hope its done when you get back kinda thing,okay maybe not that long but it sure does take a while, so back to topic do i just hook up to the discharge and set to NI-MH and then set to the pack mah, and will it be significantly faster, i am asking for safety as the last thing i want is smoke....fire.....house burnt to the ground
-
I dont think the RTR has bearings either, just bushes, if i ever get one i would run it for a half season and then strip it and clean lube and fit bearings
-
It looks like its a unique one for that model
-
so i am not joining the carisma club, mine arrived looking rather "ex demo" and missing the TX, it will be going back, think i am calling it a day with crawlers
-
Happy days, the carisma scale Lynx arrived....unhappy days...missing parts, important parts like the TX and looking rather "ex demo", it can go back and i will rethink this whole part of the hobby, now dont have a crawler and this wont get resolved before end of the holidays..going flying some wings to chill

Here is what i am thinking, if i wait for the Lynx to come back in stock i will be very lucky if its early Jan, more like early Feb, so as i do like American pickups i am tempted to take the Lynx back, grab a coyote and choose a HPI pickup shell for it, offer one up to make sure it would fit right and maybe MS will absorb the little extra for the shell, then in time make a nice truck, thing is i dont find the stock coyote to appealing

Sale pending on this truck
-
Boxing day sale over, back to listed price of £130 and still a good deal
-
Use a 540 motor with around 35 turns as to the battery i wont know till later on today when my carisma arrives but aq 2s lipo my guess is something about 4000mah
-
welcome to forum, i grew up in portsmouth
-
cant comment on that, i have heard it might have a few weakness but its a nice slow crawler and does look the part
