<p>Carisma does it again with an officially licensed, ready-to-run rendition of Mercedes’ matchless SLR McLaren. Carisma captures the essence of this 617hp, 200+ mph masterpiece with incredible body detail that rivals the most expensive die-cast models.</p> <p>_________________________________</p> <p>Carisma's 1/14 ready-to-run cars captivate the casual eye with paint quality and detail that is on par with most die-cast models, while at the same time providing a hobby-quality chassis that beginners can easily repair and adjust. <br /><br />All Carisma cars feature licensed bodies that are pre-painted and an independent front suspension, T-bar rear suspension, factory set camber and caster, and a bevel gear differential. The chassis rolls on scale-looking wheels and treaded tires complete with manufacturer logos. Perhaps the biggest feature though, is the ability to adjust wheelbase and width to accommodate bodies from other 1/14 Carisma cars. This not only allows beginners to try different body styles, but it gives them a taste of the tuning options a hobby-quality car offers. <br /><br />The electronics are hobby-quality as well. Each car comes equipped with a 27MHz proportional radio system, an electronic speed control with reverse and a rechargeable battery pack with AC wall charger. Carisma has even thought to include 8 "AA" batteries for the pistol-grip transmitter, so there's literally nothing left to do but charge the battery pack and go. </p>
