When Carisma Scale Adventure announced their 1/24-scale MSA-1E lineup, I was immediately drawn to this new machine and hoped it would live up to whatever hype I’d build around it. While I’ve added a number of smaller-scale R/C crawlers to my collection, not all of them have been able to match the level of performance […]
Most small-scale R/C vehicles provide an excellent platform for FPV. With their compact size and relatively capable performance, you can create an indoor or outdoor explorer that can give you a new perspective on your surroundings (and your hobby).

I can't tell you how hyped up I am for the release of Carisma's two new small-scale trail trucks. Although I've had hit-or-miss experience with similar 1/24 and 1/25-scale crawlers, I've been holding out hope that the Carisma team would sprinkle some magic on their new models. Judging by this teaser footage, it appears that […]

Riding on their new MSA-1E chassis, this small-scale crawler joins the ranks of the Pro-Line Ambush […]
