  • Carisma has released another Rally RTR with their M48S Platform and this time it wears the iconic 1985 Audi Quattro S1 Group B body. This car represents a height of rally performance and the question is, did Carisma step up their rally platform to represent that. In this video Greg goes over the latest release and hits the dirt for some wild dust flying action.

    I think Michèle Mouton who drove for Audi and won races for them would argue with the "Group B was for Men" tagline on the box

    That "Group B was for men" line is a bit rich considering Michele Mouton not only famously drove this exact Audi, but was an incredible driver. Perhaps even the best female driver of all time.

    The motor is 3800kv, I contacted Carisma as I won the Tomley rc car. The diffs do need filling with diff oil as they only have grease in, with a few little tweaks (including swapping out transmitter and receiver) it’s a cool car. I do hope Carisma bring out the correct wheels though.👍

    Had mine for a week now. Love it, however the body posts are fragile. Snapped two with one roll over. In addition, the grub screws backed out in both front & rear diffs. Ensure to put blue loctite on them.

    What an awesome release from Carisma ! They have some sweet looking bodies and this is no exception! Beautiful! And the rig seems like a lot of fun in the dirt! 🏎️ :)
    There are various reasons to not include "group B is for men" in the box art, some more obvious than others... wish they'd kept it out... 😏 Other than that, on point Carisma!

  • @peteroosterhoff8850

    Think one off the first reviews i've seen. Keeping my eye on it for a while already, i like it..! Only small concern i have about the body is the long front spoiler. And i think they should have made an inner body or at least the option to buy one. Haven't seen any for 1/8 which is kind off stupid if you ask me...
    But it looks great and the power upgrade was so necessary, its way better this way (would replace it regardless if i'll buy one, but that's something else)...

    Can you reach out to Charisma and get them to do an option for the correct Speedline 5 spoke wheels with a deeper offset? Also needs spot light pods on the front. Mine is on order but we're way behind in the UK. I'm going to try and fit some kyosho turbo scorpion wheels to mine when it arrives 👌🏼

    The body seam like u could put it on a bit longer chassis if they just sold it uncut possibly move wheel wells and it still look ok love good rally sadly had similar car back in 90s and got it cheap but didn't no its value till years later after sold it the amout of cool cars ive own and wish still had today just back then they weren't big bucks and as rare i mean they were then just now never see them keep up hard work and have wonderful day.

    Why would you put the steering servo UNDER the front center drive shaft? There is plenty of room to put that servi to the right of its location, mounted vertically instead. They should revise that before release.

    Given the price it is sold for in France and the basic quality ...
    I prefer to keep my Tamiya XV-01.
    I am not a fan of Carisma, the quality is not bad but it is not good either and it is very hard to find parts at home.
    If I did not have a Tamiya XV-01 maybe I would look at Kyosho with the Fazer "rally" but even there it is very expensive for what it is worth.
    In the end for a rally chassis I still think that the Tamiya XV-01 is the best, even the XV-02 is not as good.
    For 1/8 I would rather take the CEN or the Traxxas 🙂

    I might buy this just because the box art triggers the snowflakes 😆👍 The original quote was in reference to boys vs men.. nothing to do with women, and she wasn't even that good!
