Not had a close enough look at one myself but they are basically (read pretty much exactly) the same as the Sportwerks Recoil 1/14th scale

Some of the shells they do are awesome - the Audi DTM looks amazing!

Not the same as, it is the Sportwerks Recoil. Carisma makes them for Sportwerks, or did until they closed Sportwerks......

They closed Sportwerks? That lasted a long time then. Wasn't it meant to be an entry-level Losi sub-brand thingy, guess the numbers didn't work out. I'm more worried about Losi's future now (they seem to be going off the 1/10 electric off road racing scene and into odd rock crawler stuff).

I've found that with my 1/18th cars (Blaze, RC18..) that diffs and their outs are always a problem... ditch the stock items and go alloy and balldiffs asap...
