CARISMA M48S 1985 AUDI SPORT QUATTRO S1 SE 1/8 BRUSHLESS RTR
This is the SE version, with a minor styling update and now comes with some truly iconic styled 5 spoke white wheels and new dirt spec tyres!
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. Here at Carisma we decided to make the driving experience as close to the original Group B spec as possible. We've utilized a new 550 Big Can Brushless Motor, offering both RPM and Torque.
To power this we've updated the ESC to our newly 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 a 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 we've 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 complete replica livery to complete the accurate and truly photo-realistic looks.
1/8th offers a more realistic driving experience and let's you truly see what these vehicles are capable of, right at the heart of the action!
