[@jpokorny2268]

Well that was some beautiful scenery .The trucks did well . Nice camera work ,I enjoyed watching and hearing your take on wheel size and mods.

[@rcpie]

Thanks. I was pleased with how it turned out considering some of the weather I had to cope with..

[@canuckchuck8836]

The Tacoma looks so much better with the bed stabilized and level. Good work on those modifications!

[@rcpie]

Cheers, Chuck!

I bought the same truck 3 weeks ago I agree about what u said my truck same thing I'm going to check my truck out to I'm getting new wheels today or tomorrow and grease it up and fix the bed Thanku for the information

[@rcpie]

You're very welcome, Curtis. It's a decent trail truck but I have to admit it's low down in the pecking order of trucks that I choose to drive regularly. I think the body just isn't my thing and it isn't worth the compromise in performance to me. For that, I'd rather have a hard body and do scale driving. I hope you have some good fun driving it, though.

[@curtisjensen6886]

I think it will be a good truck I like the look I'm going to the rc shop tomorrow to get the grease I have a buggy to from carisma my buggy runs nice I do like the brand

[@rcpie]

I love my Range Rover and there are some amazing bodies from Carisma. The Taco just doesn't float my boat. I think I'll stick a different Carisma body on it. I meant to ask, what wheels and tyres are you going to go for?

[@curtisjensen6886]

I'm get bead locks for my rcs I don't know the brand off my head

[@fishnrc294]

Oh Mr. RC Pie I see your a Carisma fan. I have the Carisma Coyote 2.1 with upgraded esc with programmer from what I can tell it’s the same chassis as the Tacoma. So it appears you have secured the bed because it’s not drooping or moving around a lot. That’s been the only negative I’ve heard of. On my Coyote I put on the original wheelset with tires that came off my Sendero. Those tires are bigger & although not as scale man did it change the performance it will out climb some of my more expensive RC’s. Doesn’t seem like there’s many upgrades for the Carisma Crawlers. The Tacoma is the next RC on my list I just got the new TRX High Sierra & switched out the rims for metal beadlocks but in a straight out Crawling battle pretty sure the old Carisma would out crawl it.

[@rcpie]

The Coyote is closer to the Range Rover. A shorter wheelbase than the Tacoma but otherwise very similar. Yeah, I sorted the bed bounce. A very simple and quick fix. I show you how in the review Part 2. Slightly bigger tyres really help because the diff pumpkins are quite big. I had my RR out today and it was showing up TRX4s on quite a few sections. Sometimes light and simple are the best way. I love my RR.

[@rcpie]

There are a few upgrades available from Carisma and I hope to do some videos about them soon.

[@fishnrc294]

@@rcpie Nice I’ll definitely have to tune in. And the light & simple comment rings a bell because you are right I’m pretty sure a lot of it strength to weight ratio. I noticed the second I picked up my Coyote it was light. And that motor in it is pretty darn good.

[@mpampis_o_fou2027]

Beautiful video,what wheelbase is the RR?I like the pajero a lot!what is your opinion?

[@rcpie]

The Range Rover is a shorter wheelbase than the Pajero which had good and bad points to performance. The Carismas are lovely to drive if set up well, so I'd always recommend a kit and the RR kit is great because you get the lovely shocks. But if you like the looks of the Pajero, then why not?

[@mpampis_o_fou2027]

@ thanks a lot!I’m waiting for my Range Rover blue rtr!happy holidays 🎄

[@Collin_WR]

Do you think this Toyota Tacoma is better then enduros element Toyota Tacoma or it enduros better?

[@rcpie]

To be honest, the Element is a better truck. I love my Carisma Range Rover but the Tacoma just didn't do it for me. Element rigs are lovely things.
