CARISMA M40F MID-MOTOR FWD 1/10 ASSEMBLY KIT
Mid-Motor FWD Assembly Kit for Drivers Who Want Something Different. Carisma announces the M40F, a new 1/10 mid-motor front-wheel-drive assembly kit in the M40 series.
Why we built it.
Every few years, Carisma runs a special off-the-chart development program for the R&D team. Most of these projects stop after the prototyping stage. Once in a while, one stands out. The M40F is that project.
The recent launch of the Honda FL5 Civic Type R created a lot of interest in a proper FWD chassis to pair with Honda Civic bodies. That demand gave the project a clear purpose: build a front-wheel-drive car that feels different, works with 190 mm bodies, and is enjoyable to assemble and drive.
The M40F is positioned for hobby customers who want a fresh FWD experience, not for the hardcore racing class. It is an assembly kit, so customers install their own motor, ESC, servo, radio and battery. This gives shops a flexible product that pairs easily with existing electronics, Civic-style bodies and 190 mm wheel and tyre inventory.
Drive Something Different.
Features
- Mid-motor front-wheel-drive layout.
- Carbon fibre main chassis with AI-assisted flex.
- Front-mounted ESC position for strong front weight bias.
- Rear torsion plate suspension inspired by real-car design.
- CNC motor mount.
- Full metal gear front differential.
- Carisma NEW M40S 2.0 front suspension arms.
- Adjustable wheelbase: 257 mm – 260 mm.
- Adjustable camber and toe, front and rear.
- Fits 190 mm body shells.
- 12 mm wheel hex / 24 mm tyres.
An optional independent rear suspension conversion will be available later for customers who want a more conventional four-wheel independent setup.
Who is this for ?
- Drivers looking for a FWD chassis to pair with Honda Civic and other 190 mm bodies.
- Customers who already own a 4WD touring car and want a second, more characterful FWD car.
- Builders who like to choose their own electronics.
- Hobby and club drivers looking for a different on-road feel.
This is not a replacement for high-end FWD race kits. It is a distinctive kit with a clear story: front bias, torsion rear, mid-motor FWD, built to enjoy.
