Carisma has some big news for rally car fans. Taking their love of scale detail to another level, they’ve announced the release of their 1/8-scale M48S 1997 Subaru WRC Rally Car (#87368).
Larger than their typical 1/24 and 1/10-scale releases, the M48S captures the styling of the 1:1 1997 Subaru Impreza WRC driven by the late-great Colin McRae. With molded body features from bumper to bumper, the blue paint, replica decals, and gold, multi-spoke wheels make this a wonderful conversation piece, whether on display or in motion.
Under the hood (or body), the M48S features a brushless motor and brushless ESC capable of handling 2S LiPo power. A 3-diff setup helps to ensure all of that power is well-utilized by the car’s four-wheel-drive drivetrain.
