Carisma M40F 1:10 Mid-Motor FWD Kit

Better known for its officially-licensed hobby-grade RTR kits, Hong Kong manufacturer Carisma has released the M40F, and Mid-Motor 1:10 FWD Kit in their M40 series.  Explaining their M40F release, they state, ‘Every few years, Carisma runs a special off-the-chart development program for the R&D team. Most of these projects stop after the prototyping stage.  Once in a while, one stands out.  The M40F is that project.’   They added, ‘The recent launch of the Honda FL5 Civic Type R created a lot of interest in a proper FWD chassis to pair with Honda Civic bodies.  That demand gave the project a clear purpose: build a front-wheel-drive car that feels different, works with 190 mm bodies, and is enjoyable to assemble and drive.’  As a kit they say, ‘the M40F is positioned for hobby customers who want a fresh FWD experience, not for the hardcore racing class. It is an assembly kit, so customers install their own motor, ESC, servo, radio and battery.’
