Modded Carisma GT24 is Fast and Controlled
I don't always go outdoors for RC action, but today I put a buggy in my backpack and headed over to Central Park. The weather and temperature were absolutely perfect on this Sunday. The park was packed! The challenge became finding a spot to put the RC car down where I wouldn't bother other people.
The buggy I brought was the Carisma GT24TR with buggy wheels. Finally I found a quiet spot with a good surface. The GT24 chassis has all the design elements needed for solid performance, and yet it's simple enough to be robust. With the stock Carisma 8000kv motor, powered by 2S lipo and a GL 1.2 ESC, this modded GT24 is zippy.
On this asphalt surface, the grip with the Carisma pin tires was spot on. I always recommend these tires for basically all conditions (CIS15639). Overall, the handling will exceed most people's expectation of an 1:24 buggy.
I did run into an issue though but it's entirely my fault... Because the grip was quite strong, sometimes when I pulled a hard turn, the tires would come undone on the rims. Here we can see the right front tire coming off. I should've glued the tires onto the rims. Near the end of the run, I recorded some slow motion videos to see the suspension in action. A couple of friendly people stopped to check out the RC.

Have you modded gt24tr for a 2s lipo battery? Thx!
Do you think aftermarket Tamiya 130 motors would work on this chassis?
Like the mini 4wd motors? They will physically fit but many of them will likely burnout because they are not designed for 6v.
@@sammybaka ahh I see I know for sure they worked on the First Mini Z series. I tried fitting the Light Dash on one and it worked
What controller did you use?
I'm using a flysky nb4
Where do you got the front bumper ?
It's from MB003B. The bumper is used by Optima.
When servicing or doing a maintenance check on an mr03 ball diff, what ball diff grease would you recommend?
I've been using some MST ball diff grease, but any ball diff grease would do. Ball diff grease is thick and sticky to help with contact adhesion between the balls and diff plates.
@@sammybaka thatnk you very much, was a bit worried when looking at the options for ball diff grease as it might be too thick.
I need the details on that esc as i ordered one and cannot find any instructions lol. P.s im running the hotracing losi mini shocks on my gt24rs no towers just spacers
How are those shocks? This ESC has the same programming as hobbywing ezrun 18a. It uses the same program table, program card, and button operations.
what part number for this body?? and is your setup wide or narrow ?
This is the MZP243BL. The ma020 in this photo has a wide front and 98mm wheel base. Rear is the regular narrow width.
Went to look for receiver and esc and they’re sold out ?
Yeah that's possible. You can try another seller like www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803447291239.html
What car is this?
That's a GL Racing GLR
I bought one to run in the house. Now I’ve put anodized frame rails and shocks , light kits and a lot of brass Parts and linkages. Need some over size tires. It never ends.
It'd be really cool if the new Losi Micro-B oil shocks would fit or could be made to fit for more configuration options.
I might end up picking up the Losi. If I do I can check out if the shocks can work here. Coincidentally, my GT24 uses Losi shocks (and aftermarket shock towers), but from the old 1/24 SCT.
@@sammybaka Yep, heard those were an option, but since they're out of production, it'd be nice if a now available set will work. Though based upon pricing, the oil filled Carisma shocks might be a better buy.
I kept hearing that the carisma shocks are leaky though. They look nice and the price is attractive otherwise. These old Losi shocks I use appear on eBay sometimes. The custom 3d printed shock towers by Matsucars might be harder to find at this point.
What receiver and transmitter are you using
I use the Flysky NB4 transmitter. The receiver used here is a DasMikro afhds3 micro receiver.
@@sammybaka I’m using the mini28 ESC and flysky GMR receiver and have not had any success getting the receiver to go into bind mode.
@@MultiAp101 i have that receiver too. what did you try to put it in bind mode?
@@sammybaka hold the bind button on the receiver and turn on the ESC. once the esc is on and the receiver starts flashing release the bind button. The receiver should continue to flash showing it in bind mode. Mine does not do this, once I release the bind button it stops flashing. For some reason it will not go into bind mode. I’ve tried 3 of the same GMR receivers and they all do the same thing. My ESC has not been calibrated as it takes the controller/transmitter to do so but I cannot bind it to do so.
That's odd, especially with 3. I don't have any solid suggestions here. Make sure the surface you are working on is not conductive. Maybe try a different esc? Maybe try to bind anyway. With the GMR, nb4 needs to bind in enhanced receiver mode.
Hey, great build! Is the front body mount on top of the front bumper a custom-made part?
Thank you. The whole bumper is part of the reflex bumper made specifically to fit the jomurema hard body.
Magnifique j’en veux un !
Nice video! Can we get links in the description to all the parts and which radio you use?
It's best to shop between sites for parts availability and prices. I like to get a bunch of stuff at the same time from banzaihobby.com, but I've also purchased things on amainhobbies, wolframrc.com, helidirect.com, etc. DS Racing LF-1 (20mm inner diameter) MDW017: front one way diff MDW024: rigid axle diff GLR-003-S: GLR front spring set AWD-10/3: 3Racing metal CVDs The exact model of gyro to get depends on the revision of the ma-020 mainboard (green vs blue board). Mine is the older green board and uses the MZW431 gyro.
The gearbox doesn't stip out because ive had that happen to the ones ive gotten in the past
May I ask you what kind of wheels and tyres are those?
These are the kyosho plastic rims and they are narrow and +0 offset. Reference number is MDH100W-N0.
What is your rear wheel offset
0 offset for the 14mm rear. If i run 11mm wide wherls, I'd use 3mm offset rims.
@@sammybaka what are you running in front
@@MultiAp101 In this video, I'm running PN KS soft low-profile slick 11mm tires, but normally I run standard 8.5mm tires, PN KS medium low-profile slick (KS1038).
@@sammybaka I’m sorry but I meant what wheel offset for your front.
@@MultiAp101 +2 usually but sometimes +1 too.
Hi Sammy, thanks for these vids, helps me a lot. Do you know if there is an easy instruction how to convert the readsyet version to brushless? I already have the brushless system but I did not know you have to solder some wires to make it work? that sucks if you can't solder.🤣
Thank you! Assuming you are referring to upgrading a brushed mb-010 to a brushless mb-010 with the same chassis (i.e: not this carbon chassis), then Kyosho sells a brushless electronics kit that makes it easy, but it is expensive. Look for MBW2019B. No soldering required.
@@sammybaka i have the the mbw2019C wich looks the same is this esc also easy to install without soldering?
Actually my bad, it seems like you will need to solder the two power wires to the battery terminals. Also, be careful when disconnecting and connecting the flat cable between the two boards; I once broke a solder joint there.
How do you take out the wheels?
If you are referring to the plastic drift tires, yes they are really difficult to remove. I haven't succeeded in removing them from the rims on my ma-020 kit. But I know it's possible.
Can you recc what battery size fits?
I find that the battery space allows for more thickness than a standard GL 2s battery. The battery brace on the v2 chassis allows for even additional flexibility because the height/tension can be adjusted by the screws on the brace. Currently, I use Gens Ace 2s 400mah battery (www.amainhobbies.com/gens-ace-2s-lipo-battery-60c-7.4v-400mah-gea4002s60jst/p1409127

Where can you buy a dws for a miniz ma020 wide? They only sell for the m15
I don't think we can buy the rear DWS upgrade with a wide setup, but you can get mdw100-07 to add to it.
Bonjour je souhaite faire du drift en intérieur, chez moi. Quelle voiture en kit puisje acheter? Je suis amateur et novice. Merci pour vos conseils
In the mini-z product line up, the only one that can drift is ma-020/ma-030evo, but it's AWD drifting instead of rwd. This is the simplest. RWD drifting is more complicated and expensive. There's an upcoming third party product called MRD which is a RWD conversion kit for ma-020, but it's not available yet. To go further with RWD drifting, you can look into brands such as DriftArt, MA Racing, Atomic DRZ, etc.
Nice cutting & paint work on new body. May I ask how does it feel in handling as compare to usual Jomurema hard body?
Thank you. It feels quite different on the track. Less weight, especially at the top, means the car is much more nimble. Compared to a hard body, it accelerates and brakes faster, and can go around corners at a faster speed. It feels really good to drive. With a proper front bumper, front side collision is pretty manageable. However, lexan bodies don't provide any protection from side or rear hits.
@@sammybaka Thank you sir for sharing. Looking forward getting one to try it! Have a nice day ahead sir!
Wherr can i buy this chassis??
In the video description, please look for contact information for Sai Lai. Facebook (facebook.com/sai.lai.37625) or Whatsapp (+85291911193)
How are these Tires? Does the car slip often or does it have a good grip?
There are a soft and hard version of these tires. They are quite inexpensive but I don't recommend them. The performance of the carisma rally pin tires is much better.
@@sammybakaOk thank you sooo much!!! 🙏
So even with the rear diff upgrade it still has a lot of torque roll. a major problem whith the Team Associated SC28s.

Hello this might sound like a dumb question but what battery does the ezrun mini28 take? I got one in today and I bought a battery that’s jst-xh and it’s big. Thank you in advance!
This esc expects a 2S lipo. The choice of connector is up to you and the batteries you buy. A common connector used for this scale is JST-PH (3 pin, 2mm pitch). This is what I use in all my cars. Many batteries come with jst-ph but I've also seen small lipo packs with one jst-xh lead. jst-xh is conventionally used as the balance port.

Awesome! Which esc are you planning to use?

If you have a 3D printer, i found a fuel cell on thingiverse that allows you to fit larger batteries in the back and it lets you mount the tires so the rims are horizontal instead of vertical. It seems cool and if you have a 3D printer i think you should try it out (if your esc/motor combo can take a larger motor) also i found a motor/esc combo online for about 30$ with 11000kv which i want to get but idk if it would work with a servo.
Thanks for the tips. Could you help me how to find the $30 11000kv combo?
Good video btw!!! 🔥🔥
Thank you! Glad people are still looking for information about the GT24!
Have you tested the 12k motor? If yes, is it even better?
No I haven't tried the 12000kv motor. 2s with the 8000kv motor, even with the slowest gearing, is already too fast!

Is your ESC programmable? I'm running the same motor with an MXO Racing ESC, and advancing the timing nearly doubled the speed.
Yes it's programmable but I didn't try to play with the timing setting. Thanks for the tip and I will give it a try!
Hi Sammy! What was the total cost for all the little parts you needed to get this working properly? I am curious how it compares to the around $199 USD price tag for a new MA-020 AWD Dodge Challenger that's already 98mm and wide.
Based on amain prices: 98mm extension blocks ($8), bulkhead top cover ($10), bulkhead bottom cover ($10), and long alloy cvd (around $20). This adds up quite quickly so if you are looking for 98mm and/or wide setup, starting with the challenger is a good idea.
That is awesome. I'm happy to see alternatives in that truck. I love micros and really enjoy watching your channel because you have a unique way of presenting that I like!
Thanks! Now I have a brushless system wired up, I guess I can experiment with other motors too.
Nice upgrade Sammy! I be curious what the 1.5 would have done for top and speed.
I'm tempted to get it just to test it out, especially I have the rest of the truck wired up already for brushless. I couldn't find just the 1:5 gear box unfortunately, but it's still not too expensive to try.
Hey! Which rubber tyre did you buy? I'm at lost with so many choices. I just bought my first AWD but still want to grip race for fun.
I haven't put an ma-020 on an rcp track before so I'm not sure what tires would work well there. On RCP or carpet there will be a ton of traction and real chances of traction rolling; on that surface, I would go with harder compounds probably 30 or even 40 degree. If you are running on more slippery surfaces like at home, then you will want all the traction you can get, such as 20 degree radial.
If you had 2 pick only 1, Mini Z buggy or this one? And thanks for the vid man!
Thanks! The buggy is more versatile and capable, while the trophy truck is more scaled and indoor friendly. If I had to pick one I would go with the buggy.
Hello, Sir. May I know if the wheels of this 1st Mini-Z Sambar Truck can be mounted on the MA-020 chassis? (If the size is interchangeable?) Thanks.

Unfortunately I could never remove the rims from the chassis. They don't use rwd or awd-style mounts though, so I don't consider them as reusable elsewhere, unfortunately.
@@sammybaka I see, thanks for reply. I will use other Mini Z ordinary rims instead.
This may be a dumb question but can you use the 2.5 chassis with the MR-04 EVO2?
I haven't tried but I heard it's possible. You will need to modify the top cover because of the motor sensor ports on the evo2 board.
Can anyone help me with a servo link replacement? Any suggestions for parts?
The two links connecting the knuckles to the tie bar are in MB005.
That's awesome! I recently got a buggy and am having fun on my garage track. Have you experienced an issue with rolling tires off of the rim? From my first drive, it happened multiple times per session on my carpet track. With as much power as you have, I assume you would have the same issues unless your tires are glues (or something else). Thanks.
Thanks. Yeah on high traction and high demand conditions, you need to glue the tires just like the larger scale cars. It's common to use CA glue. I read it's possible to use tire tape (double-sided tape) to help secure the tires, but not as well as using CA glue.
@@sammybaka Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Hi, do you have details on where to purchase the metal servo saver or the brand and model number you used? Thanks
The brand is GPM and I think this might be tough to find today. Originally I bought it at www.asiatees.com/display?id=25689
