NEW Fully Licensed, 8th Scale ‘Colin McRae’ RC Rally Car!

what would you say we're missing from the RC hobby an affordable 1 8 scale rally car I knew that's what you were gonna say so here you go this is brand new from Charisma and it's a new m48s [Music] [Music] the m4a S is actually quite an old chassis that box size really cool look at it it looks awesome it's really nice anyway what did I saying the m48s quite an old chassis and I had the 959 version which was the very first version of this I don't believe they were that popular and I I got mine I keep getting distracted it looks so good we'll have a look at in a minute and I got rid of my 959 it was brand new boxed I got it in a massive collection that I got ages ago and I got rid of it and I've regretted it ever since because I think it's a really nice platform this one is slightly different we'll talk about that in a minute but let me just show you that that is a nice bit of art I mean no disrespect to Charisma but if they didn't have their logo and all this printed over it that would be good to cut out and put on the wall sorry Charisma the legendary Colin McRae so this is 1 8 scale it's brushless what we got there awful dampers high speed serving pen suspension time Expert Tires high speed power unit Full Metal Gear transmission what I like is they've called it almost ready to run because it doesn't come with a batch and a lot of companies will say ready to run and it's like well I now need to buy battery and batteries can be quite expensive so thank you Charisma for being a little bit more clear on the boxes almost ready as you can see I haven't looked at this yet cool best bit wow this looks good very good now little fun fact about me when I left school I was a car mechanic and I worked at a Subaru dealership between 96 and 98 and I can tell you this the Impreza turbo when it was released was an absolute Beast there you go 1997. nobody really knew its capabilities and we used to upset a lot of people in what they thought were fast cars back in the 90s when we were out test driving these things the proportions of this look really good really nice another fun fact one of the fun things about these is when I was working for Subaru it was in the era in the 90s where these new sort of smart ecu's were coming out and they'd learn your driving style we were given instructions to take these on a 20-mile drive on their PDI their pre-delivery inspection take them on a 20 mile drive and drive them hard so the ECU was its Peak Performance so when the customer come to get it how true that was I don't know but as a 17 18 year old I had a lot of fun right what we got under here so this is a longer wheelbase than the original m4a the 95 959 was a short wheelbase this brace is new as well and the old one had an alloy chassis this is a this is a composite G is it g12 G10 I like it looks nice and neat now I like all this that they put on there and it's got skid guards at the front and at the rear so it should kind of save your chassis a little bit underneath we've got a 540 sized brushless sport tune motor I don't know what KV is I'll put it on a screen if I can find it would have been nice to see like a 550 size there's loads of room in it look loads of room but it's ready to run I mean let's not complain just yet there's your steering server there again I'll put some specs on the screen if I can find them this is a front drive shaft rear drive shaft has it got a center diff yeah it's got a scented if that is nice that means the drivability is going to be really good suspension feels good there's your ESC there now I think I think it may be 2s only if it is only 2s I'm hoping it's geared well enough to well not be too disappointing on speed and punch I'm so excited to show you the car that I went off my usual script um instructions you get some stickers in here there is a leaflet about the ESC here yeah Max 2 cell lipo oh the ESC does look like it's programmable transmitter that is a giant transmitter that is huge reminds me of one of like the early pistol grip ones of the 80s and 90s that's massive it's got steering trim throttle trim it's got a button there that says return or ftn key and then it's got ATV there which is either your steering dual rate or your throttle that is massive right where were we so we've got sway bars at the front and at the rear non-adjustable camera and toe non-adjustable camera at the rear as well metal drive shafts there I think this is probably gonna have bearings all round it's got Metal Gears there's your g whatever it is chassis bottom arms same as the rear I think oil field adjustable shocks there's your battery tray it looks like you're gonna have to put a battery on its side which shouldn't be an issue if it's 2s only then well 2s batteries should fit there no problem tarmac spec ties that feel nice sticky rubber actually got Foams by the looks of it I think the rears might be thicker than the front they certainly look it Precision measuring device a little bit of tape across the rear then across the front yeah so wider rear tires to the front got a nice rear Valance there as well and body looks like yeah nowhere to put any LEDs in that but that body is very nice if you're wondering about size there it is next to a 110th rally car that's a LC racing and then that's a one-tenth Tamiya body much bigger right we have a battery in there I'm going to switch the transmitter on 8 000 milliamp hour 100 c2s so it's going to give it the best opportunity to impress me hmm so that little dial there that is your steering jewelry Servo it's not the quickest wheel speed I don't know again it doesn't seem what's this do it does nothing let's go see how fast it is and give it a rip around right then see how fast this is and you say brushless you expect like insane power that oh come on charisma definitely brushless in there isn't it 18. hmm I was going to take it on a bit of tarmac but I think it's not gonna do it justice I reckon this surface it's really gonna sort of showcase this as actually it's not fast but it can be fun it's still baffling me why they didn't make it 3s capable you can get 3s cable esc's for like absolutely nothing on that AliExpress it would have cost them no more foreign to see if it will run 3s so it's got a 3s I've not switched it on yet I've literally just plugged that in actually let's let's put it on there that bleeped three times it runs well how fast is it on 3s let's go find out it is August August in the UK 19 degrees and raining thank you thank you British summer whoa it's slippery should be enough from here for a full speed run so run 3s at your own risk that's full speed and that is still yeah that is still not great wow I am still not impressed 26 on 3s right anyway where were we I mean it's great fun on this surface it's just not really well it's not a wr8 is it a wr8 on tarmac would absolutely rip shred tires and everything I mean this does slide on Tana if we didn't do a speed run I'd probably be more impressed with this certainly because I know it's not all that far [Music] [Music] so it's slow but I don't want to dismiss it yet it actually slid around quite well and even though it's not like Tire shredding it was good fun on the dirt loose gravel on that road to add some sort of loose gravel as well it does drive like a rally car and of course it looks really good as well it's such a shame that it only does 18 mile an hour most brushed stuff is about that speed or faster this is a 1 8 scale brushless rally car it's not great so I took the gear cover off as well and there's no room to gear up from what it looks like it's maxed out on the mount by the looks of it anyway I'm not putting this on the Shelf to gather dust I reckon with not a lot of money spent on this we could put a bigger faster motor in there get it to run on 3s and I reckon we could make this into a potential tire shredder so I definitely think there's a part two to this coming soon [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music]
