[@DPS-85]

I think Michelle Mouton would disagree with the Group B for men tagline! 😳😂

[@TomleyRC]

Yes 😅

[@martineriksson9296]

I was just gonna write the same thing!!

[@wild.oscillator]

100%. (In fairness the quote was about men vs boys, not necessarily men vs women, though latent and overt mysogeny was everywhere of course)

[@charliesschroedinger]

Indeed

[@hoplite3239]

As great as she was and passionately dedicated including being involved in the i.r.o.c organization if memory serves she only won a single round of the w.r.c so id say still for the men with an exceptional female that will never be forgotten as long as im alive !!

[@wild.oscillator]

Only choice stranger than putting this quote on the box was to only print half of the quote. Full quote is "WRC is for boys, Group B was for men" by Juha Kankkunen

[@AfterBurnerTeirusu]

Seems like a licensing issue. It's just there to show the model's based on Juha's Audi.

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

yeah I thought that was so funny

[@blameusa7082]

Group B dont care about your feelings!!

[@derekhell666]

That box quote is ridiculous for this release because Michèle Mouton drove for Audi in Group B!

[@scottoblander9419]

came to say the same

[@FarmerFpv]

We found the wokies. blah blah blah.

[@DaveSaysYesh]

They didnt mean literal men they meant it figuratively...i.e you needed BIG BALLS (not literally)

[@ceecee130x]

... and she won the championship.

[@cogboy302]

I think Michelle Mouton might have a few things to say about the statement on the box.

[@TomleyRC]

I think so!

[@paddock720]

I came here to say exactly the same. She drove the real deal, whilst I watch toy cars on the internet.

[@cogboy302]

She was FIA Safety Officer on Rally GB a few years ago. I met her. She doesn't mince her words and she takes no shit.

[@GearHeadJonny]

I was about to say lol

[@mikev221]

Isnt it a quote from her?

[@FarmerFpv]

Phil is correct if you use a regular Phillips screwdriver you will strip the screws. They are not Phillips's head. They are JIS Japanese Industrial standard. If you don't have one for your RCs you can buy them on Amain Hobbies for cheap. Maybe Phil can post a link. With the correct driver, you won't strip them as easily.

[@TomleyRC]

A JIS was the best ever purchased I ever made when building Tamiya kits :) Amazon has loads of them

[@ExtremeRCReviews]

The 80's brought out the PEAK design for rally cars and the like. Ive always wanted an old Audi Quattro from 1986 with the big bulbs on the front and massive rear end bumper. Love the vids Phil.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'd argue that the Delta Integrale or Stratos are a tad more iconic, but hey, if you like heavy Audi's, good for you! ;)

[@Zermattquattro]

It’s really a question of which era of rally you gravitate too. Id argue that the quattro is the most iconic Group B car. The stratos was a decade earlier and essentially a group 4 car (not group B) and the delta ran in group N later on after the demise of group B. On the topic of quattros being heavy the S1E2 quattro only weighed 1040 kg so no real difference at all to a delta in that regard.

[@TomleyRC]

The problem with the Delta and the Stratos was that at the end of each stage they had to repair all the rot 😅. Anyway… all the 80’s and early 90’s Rally cars were cool

[@SuperScottCrawford]

If it weighed 10 tons and moved the way it did, then I like em *heavy!*

[@Lexusman65]

Lancia would be awesome.

[@dickdastardly4801]

Was Audi not the first 4-wheel drive rally car?

[@BellaT-nu4vv]

@tomleyrc man that would deserve another video on gravel tyres with scale rims driven somewhere which looks more like a realistic rally path

[@rcfools]

At £290 over at Modelsport, it's not a terrible price. But the Maverick Quantum RX Flux 4S 1/8 4WD Rally Car at £224 is a much better deal. Both come with crap radio gear but a DumboRC can be installed to significantly improve range and response for £30. I don't think the Carisma offers enough to consider purchasing one.

[@MrGoat73]

That loose surface action looked absolutely brilliant, great driving/filming! Perfect lack of grip! Its a difficult car to model, even the real thing looks completely wrong...... A great effort & top marks for a classic rally car subject. More please Carisma! I never even knew they did a Porsche 959, discontinued now I think? Another superb subject.

[@ShawnM8]

Need a RWD and O37 body to have a proper 80s battle!

[@101projects2]

14:45.. you love how it... wobbles camera side to side... floats about 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yes haha

[@poorboysrc]

I like the way it jumps and the rear suspension tucks under acceleration, it looks so good!

[@Zermattquattro]

The front always lifts under heavy load on road going UR quattros and the rally cars where even more dramatic. Just how it should be IMO. 👍

[@scaleworksRC]

10:12 the Group B curse strikes again. Good thing no drivers or crowds were lost that day, just a bit of lexan, paint and some ego 😁

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… only my feet to worry about 😅

[@scaleworksRC]

@@TomleyRC lol them too 😁

[@ronwalsh]

Always love the Group-B racers, especially the Quattro.

[@HuckThis1971]

Just ordered it. Hopefully it's the same scale as the Radio Shack Audi I bought when I was 14. That one has the white 5 spoke wheels! 🤔 I may swap as the Ur Quattro has spoked wheels from factory!

[@FarmerFpv]

I don't think many people worry about the radio these things come with. Wish they wouldn't come with any. People buying these always end up using their own radios. I love my rally cars. I'm going to add a few of these to my collection. Thanks for the excellent review, Phil.

[@just.jose.youtube]

What a gorgeous rig! Looks great ripping dirt!

[@5ShotProductions]

Great car with a great history, the Group B times back then were amazing 😍🙏 May I ask which app you are using to calculate (or measure) the top speed of the cars? Would love to see how fast my own HPI WR8 Subaru Impreza WRX is… Thx for the video and all the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

[@adampsrcs3487]

Group. B was insane.that is a beautiful looking car.and being 1985 year I was born,I need that Q

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, crazy times!

[@johnclarke8180]

Awesome video, thanks!!

[@AlidArido]

Now try putting scale severed fingers on the wing mirror for group b scale points 😁

[@TomleyRC]

Hahaha

[@pants7241]

Please bring back the finger pointer :)

[@DasE30Cuz]

When you first squeezed the throttle in the garage and I saw it squat, I was nearly punching the air going "Yes!!" because that's of course how they actually were. The body roll looks so good on camera even.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, as you heard.. I was a little happy with that haha

[@RoostedFilms]

@7:32 "track start" @8:06 "stop read" 😂

[@TomleyRC]

Never… ever 🤣

[@sgt_xs9905]

Oh wow, is that Alvaston BMX track next to the R Derwent? Used to race that track, was my local, before this it was at the old Derby Greyhound track (County Gaol) Some summer events we would ride and jump the bikes into the river.

[@993ti]

1:27 Michele Mouilton will be knockling on the door of Carisma very soon :P

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Stunning bit of kit, awesome video as always, thankyou so much for everything you do !

[@RandyandCyndi]

[@harlyquin]

1:27 yes, i remmber Walter Röhrl had a similar opinion about rally in general

[@redeye118]

What camera do you use to get those smooth onboard shots ??

[@Sidecharacter1912]

I see that rc10 in the background!

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Looks like awesome fun!

[@JohnDamalos]

That body rubbing on the dirt gave me goosebumps

[@GhostRyderFPV]

I think a piece of cut-off Lexan may prevent body damage from tire contact? Especially since the arches on this model are so flat, it should be easy to source.

[@user-ls7fn6zb6d]

I just got that body but is dark green. I cut the wheel wells to fit my hbx 2997

[@user-ss9ho2gf9x]

Alex kowaliuk here,I was the guy giving you a hard time about the Philips hardware,I apologize for that I know it's not as good as the hex stuff I was just feeling a little prejudiced my bad . Also I'm buying my dad one of these he's loves Audi we put a motor in an Audi 200 from our little shed when I was a kid the turbo 5 cylinder, and it did 150 mph wouldn't have passed EU tests though..

[@brucebaker0316]

I think all the RC companies should take a note from the packaging wow nice bubble wrap job.!! 👍🏻👌

[@JT-wf8cc]

Looks so awesome! I need one!

[@Hillbillypunk]

"Trying" to resist the urge 😅 Send it! A rally car that you can actually rally, is an awesome thing.

[@Slow_PEV]

I love the 80's quattro sport, it is one of the best cars of all time i wish they kept making them. I really might get this one.

Awesome car, and in rc spec too. 👍

[@user-qd1ip9nu7b]

Hi Phil, nice bit of kit that Audi rally. Do you remember the Colin McMae rally game, they had group B rally cars, the Peugeot T16, the metro, and Renault 5 2 turbo. But the most bonkers was the audi. Great video always 😊

[@Zermattquattro]

It’s a shame that they supplied a copy of a standard UR quattro’s road car wheel rather than the Gravel Speedlines that Audi sport actually used back in the day.

[@benstantay]

Tyres look great now

[@TheBoySwift]

The 959 is quicker than the Impreza version and is a really durable platform. They are pretty hard to find now but i somehow ended up with four of them…

[@TomleyRC]

4 haha… I wish I’d never sold mine

[@TheBoySwift]

@@TomleyRC if you want one of them I’m sure that could be arranged!

[@allanritchie1539]

Nice one Phil, looks awesome, handles well too.

[@cogboy302]

The cars ran 5 spoke (Dymag?) alloys in period, in tarmac spec. Deep dished, wider on the rear than the front. They ran different wheels in gravel spec.

[@Zermattquattro]

The quattros never ran staggered rims at all. They ran speedline magnesium alloys for gravel and BBS for tarmac stages. The very early cars ran fuch rims and again speedlines but never dymag.

[@cogboy302]

​@@Zermattquattro, well, there you go then. You must be even more ancient than me. I only have experience of seeing them in period and know a bloke who owns several Group B UR Quattros.

[@cogboy302]

​@@Zermattquattro, Anyhoo, the point of my post was that the wheels on the RC car don't match either the gravel or tarmac rims the actual cars ran in period. I have seen Quattros run staggered rims since their Group B heydey. Not much point arguing about what wheels rally cars ran 40 years ago.

[@Zermattquattro]

@@cogboy302 well we will have to disagree as you are very much wrong. WRT this RC model you are partially correct in that they are not competition rims as they have simply fitted a copy of the Ronal R8 which was standard equipment on road cars from 1983.5 model year onwards, the sport quattro road car ran a 9J version of the 8J rim and the earlier road cars a 6J version too. So to what you incorrectly stated- Firstly you stated that they ran dymag wheels (used on metro 6r4’s) which they categorically didn’t and secondly all group B quattros ran a 50/50 split in power between front and back with no advantage whatsoever to running wider rear rims. The quattro has/had to much mechanical grip even with the above setup so why would they then add additional rubber to make it even worse at getting loose? They even went to the extreme of removing 320mm from the wheel base of the A2 quattro to make the sport quattro (S1) to try to counter grip and give quicker turn in and manoeuvrability. So with all due respect you are very much mistaken but do by all means reply with info to back up your statement such as name/date of rally, driver, which stage you saw such a setup and I will happily look it up in the journals and cross reference it with actual homologation paperwork for that particular rally.

[@Zermattquattro]

@@cogboy302 what’s age got to do with being factually correct?. I still own two UR quattros and have been involved with them since the mid 90’s having restored/built up a number of cars with the correct period parts and prior to that (the catalyst you could say) following the WRC around the UK back in 1984/5 with my father. BTW there is no one in the UK now that owns several ex works quattro but I believe I know who you are alluding too and if it’s the same Mancunian he now runs a replica of the 1983 A2 quattro and a 100S4 having parted company with most of his collection and BTW none of his quattros ever ran staggered rims.

[@TheDudeRc]

Great video Phil! Thanks for the excellent content you always provide!

[@disciplinerc]

Glorious, iconic....and the cars nice too 😅 Soft suspension for the win.

[@TomleyRC]

Plenty of grip on Tarmat, the tyres dont last long though

[@rcandy5119]

Nice 👌 very nice…3s every run and she handles like the original did, a true icon from some of the most famous rally’s. A great tribute to a great car. 👍

[@chrystalriver570]

group b rally was banned after a incident in 1992 were a 1992 ford escort rs2200 cosworth came off the track and struck those their to view the race, rally rules were so loose deaths were not uncommon, but this crash was particularly bad due to the death count and the outrages out put of the crashing car.

Phillips is a name brand. like crescent. most people call thumb wrenches, crescent wrenches.

Philips is the correct term for a type of crosshead screw rather than a name brand. JIS, Pozidriv & 1 or 2 others are also crosshead screws.

The ctx8000 transmitter has pretty bad range. I have one and it also cuts out once you get about 75 feet away. It probably needs to go tbh cuz anything faster than that and that little transmitter bubble is too small. Sucks cuz I honestly quite like the oversized wheel.
