For the scale fans...

Some have already made a mini-me with the Element Enduro KnighRunner. This one from Carisma looks like a really good stock looking option.

 

Yeah, I'll be buying one of these when they're available. I'm not some RC connoisseur; for an RTR it looks pretty good!

 

Interested. Grandson would love this.

 

Saw that this morning. Pretty neat. Ill wait for the clear body to be released and mount just the cab on my already built belly dragger build.

 

Agree with you all. The SCA-1 is actually a really decent chassis. It's biggest drawback is the fact that Carisma tends to be a bit more difficult for parts compared to Element, and Axial.

I've already got a mini-me in progress using the Enduro. But may swap out the body for a clear version of this one.

 

Any questions feel free to message me. I love RC. Have probably 60 of them. 10 are scale trucks. Lol

 

I'll bite.

How would you rank the chassis and motor on this one, for an RTR?

 

On par with all the rest. I've seen people really abuse these, and the chassis holds up. Keep in mind it's a scale truck, they do not go fast. So if something breaks, it either fell off of something really high, or got jammed up in an obstacle.

 

Good to know. I was into flying toys, but got so paranoid about where one can and can't fly I haven't played with RC for a while.

I'm somewhat thinking about getting into wheeled RC as a fun campsite thing to do.

 

Flight can be difficult. I tried it for a year, flew the damn thing 3 times. Weather, area... so many things to prevent it. Surface, particularly Scale Trail, tend to be water resistant, go where you do. Just like the real things.

 

Very nice!

Scale Builders Guild did a video review.

 

I watched the video and my grandson would love it. Question on speed though. How fast does it go?

 

Probably a bit more than walking pace. Scale trucks are not built for speed realistically.
