Carisma SCA-1E Coyote Trail Truck Reveal

[@chrisrausch4594]

Looks like a neat little kit, and finally a body that hasn't been done to death. Great video, Chris!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice work on the corners of the box.

[@DocterJones]

Looks great! Gosh they did well with the body! Great to see something new!

[@Codesempire]

Very cool scale truck! Considering the setup right out of the box is really neat! Thanks a ton for sharing this! Thumbs up!

[@VisorView]

The cardboard box review ends at 4:00 if you want to skip it.

[@bigpoppapaulsradiocontroll2724]

I hate review box talk I never do it on my vids lol

[@daver18qc]

@2:30 "Variable throttle roller" it's actually just the steering D/R. They call it "ATV" and it adjust maximum steering angle on both sides. Great when you have a track with a long straight followed by lots of turns, you can then adjust it on the fly as you race and not oversteer on the str8 section.

[@daver18qc]

@6:50 Actually Axial get those from Hobbywing also, like the rest of them :) They are all the same ESC but i've come to notice that on the new GEN7 Redcat there is also one and they say you can remove the drag brake "jumper" to actually get 0 drag brake, which is something not told by Axial, so i wonder if Redcat got a new revision or if Axial just omitted to tell us that.

[@GCMRacing1]

HobbyWing sells several versions of the same thing, and they aren't all the same. For instance the 1060 esc from HW has a drag brake, and other stuff due to the jumpers.. the Dynamite version has the same jumpers, but different features, and then the 3rd use of that 1060 has no drag brake at all... I wonder if that GEN7 is the same sort of thing, built for Redcat on the same platform?

[@daver18qc]

Could very well be ! I asked some of the guys with the AE-5s to test it for me, if they can get 0 drag on it also by removing their jumper. Waiting on their replies.

[@acereport8939]

Those Tamiya connectors will actually hold up for many years if used properly. The pins wobble around inside the connector making them difficult to connect. Sometimes they just need to be wiggled around while connecting but in some cases the pins gets smashed to one side. I once accidentally charged a lipo battery on NIMH settings which nearly resulted in a fire. Nowadays I try keep Tamiya connectors on all my NIMH batteries so that I don’t confuse them with lipo batteries anymore.

[@LJoel]

Happy to see they have a kit version. With nice beedlocs

[@graymatter45]

Stout was the first Toyota pickup imported to the United States

[@redline6871]

Great looking RTR for sure

[@rccrawlerextreme]

Good review! Where to buy this truck? Any bad review

[@bastianmotors]

I’m from Central Valley so excited I get choose between or Traxxas kit setup but so many choose from thank I gonna try get both because theirs only two around my area

[@joss67uk]

Looks like a nice truck, the matt finish looks great. Chrome steel wheels for sure would look great with the chrome grill,rear bumper,wipers and mirrors. And its nice to see a little bit of suspension sag right out of the box, for me most seem to come with springs that are way too stiff.

[@GCMRacing1]

I will say... a racing company making scale shocks is a real treat! The truck naturally sits on the spring, and the shocks are so freaking smooth it's silly. I'm guessing this thing will ride real nice on the trail and rocks!

[@2SubaruBrats]

Great unboxing video. Nice truck. Nice Tamiya plugs :)

[@realonethreesevens3640]

Your twin!!

[@TheTankRC]

It looks great I can't wait to see it on the trails

[@RcNickster709]

I have to say that this is a great looking truck.. Thanks for sharing.. :)

[@wereallydontknowwhatweredo5038]

Boxes are cool! I haven’t seen one of these yet. The body is cool.

[@thedumpydustman6088]

ESC is a rebranded Hobbywing unit but correct it is same as one used by Axial in the SCX10 and by HPI in their Maverick Scout so tried and tested. I have several of them in my RCs and never had any problems

[@GCMRacing1]

They are good, yeah. I've seen a couple catch fire... real fire.. but it's always from the same thing.. using a low turn motor that draws much more amperage.

[@thescaryscot]

The second crome pieces are for indicators if you dont know

[@RUSERIOUS76]

I bet it will look nice with the chrome front bumper and body lowered.

[@BasBoyRC]

I've already raised my front bumper and to fit the chrome bumper you will need to make a bracket. I do not know why they have chop the front panel down as in early pictures you can see it's deeper.

[@GCMRacing1]

Agree.. it seems they trimmed off the bottom section where the front chrome bumper would have been. Hopefully they will release the lexan body kit sometime and we can build it with the bumpers on the body both ends!

[@BasBoyRC]

According to the web site that's a yes on the body kit as there is a part number for it.

[@RCPlayGround]

I watched the video interestingly ~ Big-like ~

[@damientribe9800]

It looks as though the chrome front bumper goes in the void instead of dropping the body place the chrome front bumper in between the body and the winch bumper that should fill that optical illussion that your seeing before you customize brackets definitely want to see this machine totally assembled

[@dropbearrc9819]

Cool review. Still waiting on mine in poor old Australia

[@afrog2666]

Hehe, I ran tamiya plugs for years, never had a problem, including my hornet which I bought used, I used those plugs for at least 5 years before swapping to an esc. Maybe I just got lucky.. :p

[@IBOO57]

Are you planning on doing a test drive video on the Coyote?

[@GCMRacing1]

no, not from here. We gave it away as a prize to our local club. The guy that got it has been running it for a while!

[@dwbv00]

I'm trying to decide between this truck or the hpi venture....

[@keithrx3c]

Have you guys done a vid on the old Kyosho nitro cars like the Landjump/Vanning and Assault/Advance?

[@GCMRacing1]

No Nitro stuff at all. sorry!

[@fowlman7254]

I'm planning to purchase a beginner's level crawler.. my price limit is USD $300.00 .. do I get this or Redcat Pro? Thos rig looks a bit more equipped stock.. I always look for metal/aluminium suspension parts.. also the drive shaft being metal is really cool.. I've looked at dozens of review vidds..and the entry level crawlers between $150 to $300 mainly come with stock plastic drive shafts..great review.. I'll be needing info as I begin my rc hobbying quest...

[@toddyoung3834]

When will these be available in the u.s?

[@jeffwarren9791]

man I've been running carisma rc cars for years now and they are awesome!! did you know that carismas electronics and losi's electronics are made by the same manufacturer?? I have a little 16th scale monster truck and the esc,motor are identical to the mini 8ight and the radio is the same as the mini t but it's 2.4 gig and the receiver is identical to the rc18 in the mini 8ight

[@downwiththesicknessrc7783]

Before you try adjusting the body to the bumper, let me bring it to your attention that the bumper itself has two mounting positions built into it. Pull the two screws and adjust up, then re attach screws from bottom of mount.

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks! I see that, yeah. Cool feature for sure!

[@roancraenen1385]

Hey, I got the Carisma SCA-1E yesterday but the slowest speed on the truck is already way to fast to climb precisely and there isnt a smooth transition between minimal and full speed. The throttle limiter doesn't fix this and neighter the throttle trim. What part do I need to replace to fix this? I assume the ESC? (I still need to learn a lot about RC's ;D) and how do I know if I buy a new part that I don't get the same problem. Also, the weird thing is; it does have a pretty decent transition when I reverse, so maybe I can flip/swap something so that reverse becomes forwards? ( for instance some wires? or is that bad for the motor?) Or i can somehow modify the remote so there is a throttle ATV. or buy an other remote, but what types of remotes can I than buy? (sorry for the many questions) I hope I can get a reply so I can continue to love RC's😁

[@williamsantiago7303]

Great video like always and very informative. I'm not sure if ya mentioned it but what make is the body? What I mean is it a Chevy or ford or a old Cherokee pick up truck? I think the body is awesome. It's a really nice looking rig. It has a tuff truck look to it. Anyway thanks for the video and I gave it a thumbs up. Take care bud.

[@GCMRacing1]

It's a Toyota Toyopet body from I think 60's. It looks great though! They do a nice lexan mold.

[@williamsantiago7303]

@@GCMRacing1 Hey friend thanks for the reply and the info.

[@DannyRc]

that thing looks great :)

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

that is a good looking truck

[@graymatter45]

I tried to order that Toyota stout body from a-tees and they said it was on back order indefinitely

[@graymatter45]

Toyota stouts were the first Toyota pick ups imported to the United states

[@GCMRacing1]

Too bad. I can imagine doing a couple of scale trucks based around this cool body!

[@skagerstrom]

Nice! And a nice price as well. 300 USD on their site - and I bet it's not the least worse than the overpriced kits from the other companys.

[@GCMRacing1]

Pretty amazing deal for this sort of $, yeah

[@blackdiamondrcranch897]

How do I get me that rig !!! 😁

[@abramcowell5886]

How much does it cost

[@3dman875]

Not bad looking truck be a sweet trial truck

[@jeffmullinix7916]

The body is a Toyota Hilux . Toyota made this body style from about 1960 - 1969 . There was some changes in this truck threw those years but the basic style was the same to a degree . The only thing the grill on this truck seems to be wrong for the Hilux . I always like the 60 Toyota truck style best I like was the 1966 Hilux .

[@CORINKERSTEN]

How reliable do you think it is stock?

[@GCMRacing1]

It's RECON FIX certified at a 12 hrs straight, and it seems to be well made for a stock truck for sure.

[@OldIronRC]

I like the body

[@ka4172]

Nice reliabel Truck,but i think this cant beat a Ascender or Axial SCX 10.Chassis was sell in Europe under "Carson Mountain Warrior".We call them China Crawlers.Thats mean cheap not bad.

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks for the note! I had never heard of the Carson truck, it's the same chassis, yes!

[@monstermechanic-uw8xj]

looks like early Toyota p/u cool

[@humboldtef]

That does look pretty interesting, I would have said Dodge too, didn't expect Toyota. I wonder if they just painted the inside of the body black and the outside matte clear?

[@GCMRacing1]

I checked it after this comment, and it's just a one shot flat black on the outside only! That sure makes light buckets and windows real easy! Mask once, and done!

[@rodcognito002]

Actually I don't care what other people think it's a great looking rig. LOL. Only seen pictures. The body is beutiful with great options. What kind of metal is ring n pinion.

[@GCMRacing1]

I haven't taken apart the axle yet to find that out.

[@ChapsUnlimited]

Rod 000 agreed

[@wonspec]

"It's not what we thought!" So, is it better or worse than you thought?

[@GCMRacing1]

wonspec It's quite a bit nicer than I'd thought.

[@bradleyfuller6998]

looks to me its 63 international pickup

[@GCMRacing1]

Turns out it's a toyopet truck replica.

[@fagamer3253]

Nossa muito bom como gostaria de ter um desses parabéns pelos vídeo

[@nps3252]

Hello sir i want suzuki samurai with realistic look with axel suspention shock drive shaft include every thing that seems like a big suzuki samurai car can u build it for me i think ur making rc trucks by profession ur trucks are look 100% relistic i m from india and i want this suzuki samurai with 1/10 scale accesory plz reply and one more thing do u have facebook page i want to join? ???? Plz reply man

[@wiseone5930]

Don't put a lipo 3 battery's in this rig the manufacturer says you can and the battery tray is a awesome fit for one but I kid you not it ran great for about 20 minutes.... By the way get your cameras out when this happens cause the fireball it makes is quite spectacular!!! We unplugged the battery and the speed control module looked like silly puddie didn't smell to great either so we grabbed another coyote truck off the shelf in the shop took the speed module out that truck put it in the first rig and didn't even get two feet an same results and again get your cameras out for this.

[@gregstanley2836]

andy randy I have one of these and i run two 3s lipos in it in parallel. Ive had no problems at all with mine. It keeps up on the trail with my friends Komoto and my other friends SCX 10. Honestly for the price you cant beat thid truck! Ive been running the snot out of mine for months now, and havent actually had to change anything on it at all.... That being said ive also upgraded the steering servo, steering links, and steering knuckles. But not cause i needed to, i just wanted aluminum ones. Also i put a 55 turn motor in it to up my torque a bit.

[@mudmonkey1]

Nice car but the harder the plastic the faster it cracks

[@arvenkliendelacruz3624]

I love the body. Please make a unboxing vid of mst xxx-r

[@jeffryjenkins8858]

Its mildly annoying that they put one of each bumper on the truck and included one of each. Put both of one on that mofo.

[@jamesrobertson5817]

I think an international

[@GCMRacing1]

Turns out it's a toyopet.

[@TrokaRC]

Dig my #sca1e

[@sacrificialrubber779]

Looks like a Vaterra knock off!

[@GCMRacing1]

Not sure why, it's so completely different from any Vaterra. Actually, many of the SCX upgrades will bolt right on this, thanks to the same bolt spacing etc.. which is a great thing for aftermarket. It's way smaller than the Vaterra trucks, less wide, and shorter, etc. Much smaller tires than Vaterra also.

[@crawlerstealthrc455]

Vaterra twin hammers diffs?

[@Traulus83]

She's kind a lost :D

[@philiprogers4071]

Welll would believe it, Amy and Sheldon from Big Bang, thought u guy's only did fun with flags??. Why don't you give your girlfriend a chance of unboxing a truck..
