Carisma announces the M40F, a new 1\/10 mid-motor front-wheel-drive assembly kit in the M40 series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we built it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery few years, Carisma runs a special off-the-chart development program for the R\u0026amp;D team. Most of these projects stop after the prototyping stage. Once in a while, one stands out. The M40F is that project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrive Something Different.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMid-motor front-wheel-drive layout.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre main chassis with AI-assisted flex.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFront-mounted ESC position for strong front weight bias.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRear torsion plate suspension inspired by real-car design.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCNC motor mount.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull metal gear front differential.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCarisma NEW M40S 2.0 front suspension arms.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable wheelbase: 257 mm – 260 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable camber and toe, front and rear.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFits 190 mm body shells.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e12 mm wheel hex \/ 24 mm tyres.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn optional independent rear suspension conversion will be available later for customers who want a more conventional four-wheel independent setup.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is this for ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrivers looking for a FWD chassis to pair with Honda Civic and other 190 mm bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCustomers who already own a 4WD touring car and want a second, more characterful FWD car.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilders who like to choose their own electronics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHobby and club drivers looking for a different on-road feel.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is not a replacement for high-end FWD race kits.
