Carisma Racing CRF-1 Classic Team Lotus Type 98T kit
Based on their recently introduced CRF chassis line comes Carisma Racing’s all-new CRF-1 Classic Team Lotus Type 98T 1/10th formula car kit. The Lotus 98T was a truly innovative F1 car designed for Team Lotus by Gérard Ducarouge and Martin Ogilvie. It was raced by the legendary Brazilian Ayrton Senna, and his teammate, Scottish driver Johnny Dumfries in the 1986 Formula One World Championships. The 98T was the last Lotus car in history to carry John Player’s famous black and gold colours. On many levels this car truly epitomises 1980’s F1, and Carisma Racings latest release a fitting tribute to both the vehicle itself and the driving legends of that era of motorsport. The CRF-1 is a new, innovative 2WD race chassis that was designed and tested in Europe, both taking the TQ and win at the first BRCA F1 National of the 2019/20 season. The body is licensed by Classic Team Lotus and not only a fun and icon RC F1 car to own, its also a collectable snapshot of automotive history. Performance-wise, the CRF-1 platform is as adjustable as possible, to cater for every track/surface type and driving style. The components and materials used represent the finest and most durable for this type of racing, allowing the driver to compete at the very highest level, and be able to fine-tune the setup and chassis geometry to win races. The kit includes the chassis and highly detailed body shell and wings but no wheels, tyres, electronics or paints.
