Carisma is very proud to announce the release of their second M48S Iconic rally release. They worked closely with Audi to produce a 285mm SWB version of their M48S platform and created a photo-realistic 1985 Audi Sport Quattro S1 in 1/8th.
As a 1:1 vehicle the Audi Quattro was the first rally car to effectively use all-wheel drive, and would go on to be a benchmark for future cars fitted with such a drive-train. At Carisma, they decided to make the driving experience as close to the original Group B spec as possible.
*NO BATTERY OR CHARGER INCLUDED*
They've utilized a 550 Big Can Brushless Motor, offering both RPM and Torque.
To power this they've updated the ESC to their developed ARC-3 to allow for the use of 2 or 3S LiPo as standard, and when combined with the 2.4Ghz F.H.S.S Radio Gear and 3 Diff 4WD all metal driveline, offers a robust and true rally driving experience like no other.
The car is an ARR, so just add your own choice of 7.2v NiMH, 7.4v LiPO or 11.1v LiPO.
The body has been faithfully reproduced using original design data, and Carisma has ensured it's as accurate as possible, including all the down-force generating aero package, it's SWB dimensions, different screen angle to the LWB Quattro and it's a complete replica livery to complete the accurate and truly photo-realistic looks.
The final result is truly stunning, and the perfect collectible, yet functional 1/8th RC car.
Run on 7.4v 2S initially to get a feel for the cars handling, and then when the time is right move to 3S for more wheel-speed, acceleration and torque.
