Welcome to the ever-growing world of Carisma Scale Adventure.
Have you ever wanted to run a Scale Rig but the weather, or your location
stopped you?
Well, Carisma Scale Adventure now brings you two new models that will allow
you to run anywhere a larger rig can’t. The 1/24th MSA-1E Ford F-150 has been
designed from the ground up to not only look the part but also perform way
beyond its stature.
The sofa in the lounge becomes a range of mountains, floor cushions become
giant boulders, your desk the great indoors, the backyard a never-ending
wilderness. The only limits these rigs have is your own imagination (and
possibly how predatory the local cats are!). Test both your driving ability
and your course-building ingenuity. Drive from point A, to point B, via point
Z!
With their highly detailed bodyshells, 2.4GHz radio gear, locked axles, High
torque steering servo and motor, a sturdy shaft-driven driveline, 4-link
suspension, optimized weight bias and high-grip, all-terrain tires. Add to
that our new Karma Drive Technology and bespoke electronics, and exciting
things start to happen. They contain the essence of our full-sized SCA-1E,
just distilled.
Remember, the MSA-1E may be small in stature, but you can personalize it just
like you would its bigger brother the SCA-1E. The limit is your own
imagination.
These tiny trucks are designed for big #CarismaScaleAdventure, enjoy every
millisecond of yours…
Life is short, so truly live it, one #CarismaScaleAdventure at a time!

CTX-2000 2.4GHz FHSS
Technology System
The following is an overview of the various functions and adjustments found on
the CTX-2000 radio system. It is important to read and understand all of these
functions and adjustments before driving.
FUNCTIONSTRANSMITTER CTX-2000 Steering Wheel: Control direction (Left/Right)
of the RC model. Throttle Trigger: Control speed and direction
(Forward/Brake/Backward) of the driving model. ON / OFF Switch: Power ON / OFF
the transmitter. SW1 Button: Is used to synchronize the connection between the
transmitter and the receiver. It also serves as an additional function on
different models. LED Indicator: For indicating battery low, pairing in
progress, and normal operation. ATV: Adjust the maximum steering angle on both
sides when the model turns Left / Right. ST. Trim Dial: Adjust the neutral
position of the steering servo when model wheels are straight ahead. TH. Trim
Dial: To adjust the throttle position Steering Reverse: Reverse the response
direction when operating the Steering Wheel. Throttle Reverse: Reverse the
response direction when operating Throttle Trigger. Throttle Limit Switch: Set
the max Forward Speed of the model. • In general, users will experience
understeer when making a wide turn at high speed or oversteer when making
sharp turns at high speed (easy to spin out). Users should practice the
Throttle and steering approach for different cornering at a different speed or
road surface.
Battery Installation
- Supplied with 4 x 1.5V AA Batteries, the radio can be operated a few hours. Installation: Remove the battery compartment cover as shown below.
- Install the batteries observing the polarity marked on the battery compartment. cam,,,_
- Then reinstall the battery compartment cover as in the Picture shown below.
Warning : Never disassemble batteries or put the batteries in fire,
chemical agents, otherwise they may cause personal injuries or property
damages.
Battery Disposal: Observe corresponding ding regulations about wasted
battery treatment regulations. 1. After running out of power, dispose of
wasted batteries in designated areas far away from the water supply, household
areas, and planted areas. 2. Submit the wasted batteries to specific recycling
stations.
Battery LED Indicator
The LED solid on indicating that the batteries have sufficient power. When batteries voltage drops below 4 volts, LED will Flash, indicating batteries power is low and should be replaced.
ATV
AN enables to adjust the maximum steering angle of the servo on both sides (Left and Right) when the model makes steering. The AN affects the sensitivity of servo. Reducing dual-rate value can lower the sensitivity of servo and reduce the same maximum steering angle on both sides. Remember to adjust the AN within the adjustment range.
Pre-Run Check
- Steering: Adjust the steering trim to keep the front wheels in a straight line when the steering wheel remains in a NEUTRAL position.
- Throttle: Adjust the throttle trim to make the motor stop while the throttle trigger at a NEUTRAL position.
Always turn on the transmitter first. If the LED is not solid on, you need to check whether the batteries are good or incorrectly installed.
Reversing
Steering Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating the steering wheel. Turning left steering wheel, the model turns right while turning right the model turns left. Throttle Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating the throttle trigger. Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while pulling back, the model moves forward. If necessary you can just use a small screwdriver to adjust the responding switches.
Throttle Limit Switch
The slide switch to select the max forward speed:
- Slowest
- Intermediate
- Fastest
MSA-1E Electrics
MBC-241ST USB Charger
This charger is designed to charge the included 7.2V NiMH packs only. DO NOT
charge any other type of battery. It is NOT intended for LiPo or Li-ion packs,
or packs of a lower or higher voltage rating. When connected to a standard USB
power source (500 mA or above is recommended), a red LED will light up
indicating that the power is ON. During charging the maximum charging current
is approx 100mA, and when the pack is fully charged,the charging current will
drop. A typical time to fully charge a completed drained battery is 2 hours.
After charging, disconnect the USB charger, and the pack. It is normal for the
pack itself to feel slightly warm after charging.
NOTE: A partly discharged pack will take shorter time to be fully charged.
BUT, due to the physiology of the NiMH packs, and their tenancy for memory
effect, it is always best to fully discharge and cycle NiMH packs. It may take
a few cycles for your pack to reach its full potential.
REMEMBER : younger RC fans must always charge the pack under adult
supervision, and never leave the charging pack unattended. The red LED will
NOT turn off, it only indicates that USB power is present. It is advised that
you set a timer to independently notify you when the 2 hour charge cycle is
complete. Failure to adhere to the correct charging procedure can lead to
permanent damage to the pack, and in extreme cases, fire or personal injury.
Charge smart, charge safe, follow guidelines.
ARC-2000: RX/ESC Module Instructions BINDING PROCESS
- Power off the TX
- Press and hold the Bind key of the ARC-2000 combined RX/ESC on the vehicle itself, and then turn it on. the ARC’s LED will start to flash slowly.
- Next, hold the Bind button of the CTX-2000 transmitter and then power it on. Again an LED will flash on the CTX when the binding process is initiated.
- When the ARC shows a solidly lit LED, this indicates both TX and RX units have successfully paired and bound.
- In the event the ARC LED stops flashing, this indicates the RX is not found by the TX. Move the position of the TX closer, and then start the procedure at step 1.
LED INDICATOR STATUS
-
When a TX signal is received, the ARC LED will be either solidly on (indicating a NiMH pack) or will be Flashing (indicating a LiPo pack). NOTE: to set battery type, see section 4: ‘Setting Battery Type’.
-
When the TX signal is lost for over 5 seconds, the ARC LED will flash twice repeatedly, and the steering servo will move once. This is a visual cue to remind you to power off the vehicle.
-
If you drive the vehicle at full throttle for long periods of time, the motor may become too hot. This will eventually damage the motor. The ARC will sense this and automatically stop the motor (Thermal Shutdown) for a while, allowing it to cool. The ARC LED will flash 6 times very quickly, and repeat this until the motor has cooled sufficiently.
NOTE : If this happens again within a short space of time, the Thermal Shutdown time will be longer. -
Setting Battery Type: During normal operation with TX, RX power on and throttle at stop position. Hold the Bind Key of ARC-2000 for over S seconds, the battery type will be changed to the next battery type. And the LED will immediately reflect the battery type that has been selected. LED: Solid = NIMH Flashing = LIPo
