Just looks like Carisma and Losi got together on this one. Question is, does it actually have any kickup on the front, unlike the current gt14b?
Even looks like carisma gearboxes from here as well...

Look at the losi picture gallery. Diff casings are not carisma ones. Could be the same internals though. The gt14 on road cars come with gear diffs so could be those.

Perhaps just not the Carisma you're used to seeing

Ok so the mk 2 looks like that then!
So likely that the carisma and losi roll bar set will be very similar then? |

I think you're looking at the wrong dimensions in the rules, the er "larger of the micro scales" is a max width of 209mm
so it's spot on |

Sportwerks RC was an Horizon Hobby brand which was rebadged Carisma cars.
So its no surprise to see the Carisma factory turning out a Losi Micro using their already proven running gear. I much prefer the look of the Losi version to the Gt14B Still not going back to Micro Racing though. |

Looks a fun bit of kit, looking at the manual seems to be a small kickup on the chassis at the front end and no seals on the diff, so not sure if it would leak if oil filled.
Any idea what lipos would fit this ?.

The You Tube video says the diffs are not sealed, so you cant use oil but you can pack them with grease.

lipo's - anything that'll fit an rc18. Can even get hardcase 1600 and 1800 on ebay (intellect lipo)

There are also a host of softcase Lipos that will fit, flightpower for example do 2150 40C and 50C lips which are ubber powerful. Also I think Losi themselves do Lipos of the appropriate size, though I've not tried them personally. |

mini 8ight towers?
So what's the general opinion on it having ali towers guys? Obviously stronger but bending ali hop ups is the thing that puts some off...I know Losi will be dealing with some high grade ali....chassis and hubss in ali makes sense...shock towers with no flex? Any thoughts?

I have heard both of the above dates mentioned from various pople at horizion they are either side of the same weekend so guessing it will be an arrive at horizion on the 28th ship to shops on the 1st arrive at shops on the 2nd for colection so those who have pre ordered will collect on tuesday that gives 4 evenings testing before the national at telford if you have time to spare I know of 3 evenings close enough to me to run at not that I will probably be just the 1 maybe 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and this is all IF IT arrives when they say it will

After last night's run, I'm almost confident about the pace and handling of the 8, just imagine what it'll be like with some talent behind the TX!
