Climb into the '80s. Carisma SCA-1E 2.1 Range Rover rock crawling.

Our first run of the 2.1 spec Range Rover kit that we built.
To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from this. With Class 1 tyres and everything else stock, I thought it might be more of a shelf queen than a rock crawler. However, I was intrigued after reading on the Carisma website that the Range Rover had won the UK Nationals in 2021.
So off to the rocks we went.
I started off worrying about rolling the new body and looking at attractive routes thinking 'No chance' but I very quickly realised that this is a very, very capable little rig. I started pushing it more and more and could hardly find anything that it couldn't do.
The whole experience left me with such a big smile on my face and a need to drive it more.

Beautiful video and spot!

[@rcpie]

Thanks a lot. It's a great place to drive!

[@scaleaddicted]

This blue, looks MEEEGAAA on the Range!!! Nice footage

[@rcpie]

Thanks a lot. It's rare that you get a rig you love driving as much as you love the look.

[@MikeRCWorld]

This Range Rover looks sweet on its off-road track there. Awesome spot and video 👌🤠

[@rcpie]

Thanks, Mike. So far, it seems like an amazing crawler. And that is one of my favourite places to drive. So much to offer. It'd be a great place for a competition.

[@glennjthompson332]

👍IT looks good!😃

[@rcpie]

It's ace. A bit of a surprise for me.

[@wildcrawls]

Your driving has improved vastly! All the best!

[@rcpie]

I'd say it's mainly the lighter car and smoother transmission that's better suited to a 1060 ESC. Much easier to modulate the throttle. I'm going to try a different ESC on the Rescuer. The filming has certainly improved too. Thanks, though.

[@ChasingplasticCars]

Great video Rig looks to perform well 👍

[@rcpie]

Thanks. It's blown me away.

This location is near me i live in Redruth, are you local or did you just travel down here. Just now finishing the same build you have done a great job

[@rcpie]

Hi Kev. I'm an emmet although I kind of feel half-local. We've had a place on the edge of Chutchtown for nearly 30 years and were regulars before that. It's such a good spot for crawling. So many lines! You're so lucky to have so many amazing places on your doorstep. You'll recognise others in my videos too.

[@offroadkev4447]

@@rcpie we have a little crawler group on Facebook if you are interested we have meetings throughout the year usually have about 10 or so people

[@thibster5590]

Very nice, do you know if the Rover body will fit on coyote chassis? I'd like to change over.

[@rcpie]

Yes, it's the same wheelbase and you should get all the mounting parts in the body kit as long as you want to mount with body pins in the standard way.

[@mbazani]

Nice crawling! What tires are you using if I may ask?

[@rcpie]

Thanks, Marcelo. The tyres are Pro-line Class 1 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM3 in predator compound.

[@TinyTruckingTV]

[@rcpie]

It's in Cornwall, near St Agnes.
