We have another vehicle review for you with this episode of the RC Newb Podcast. After spending some quality time with one of Carisma’s smaller-scale vehicles, the GT24T, I wanted to share my thoughts on this tiny truck.
If you’re a fan of durable, fast, and fun radio-controlled machines, this 1/24-scale model from Carisma might be worth looking at. With the holiday season fast-approaching, it might be the perfect stocking stuffer or self-gift for you or another R/C enthusiast on your shopping list.
Show Notes:
ARRMA rolled out two new 1/8 -scale vehicles that are aimed at the basher/fun-seeker.
The Fazon 6S BLX is a Traxxas E-Revo-esque monster truck that’s both fast and durable, featuring a BLX brushless motor and 6S LiPo capability.
The Outcast 6S is a brushless-powered beast that’s built to fly, spin, and slam its way through obstacles. Billed as a stunt truck, this monster truck can handle a 6S LiPo battery, leaving you with no shortage of power.
