Technical Performance
The CARISMA M48S AUDI SPORT QUATTRO S1 DECAL SET is a cosmetic upgrade component rather than a performance-focused item, but it plays a crucial role in the overall presentation and appeal of your Carisma M48S RC platform. Decals represent an economical way to customise your RC vehicle without purchasing additional mechanical components or requiring professional body work. The M48S platform itself is engineered for reliable performance and durability, and these official Carisma decals are produced to complementary standards using high-quality printing and application techniques that resist fading and wear during active use. When applied properly to a clean, prepared surface, these decals provide a professional finish that rivals factory-painted bodies, making your RC model suitable for exhibition, competitive display events and serious hobby use. The decal set works seamlessly with the M48S platform regardless of motor type, ESC configuration, or battery setup you're currently running, making this a universally compatible customisation option for all M48S owners in the UK and internationally.

- What scale is the Audi Sport Quattro S1 livery? — These decals are designed for the 1/10 scale Carisma M48S RC model, faithfully reproducing the iconic Audi Sport Quattro S1 rally livery at the correct proportions for this platform.
- Can I use these decals on other RC models? — These decals are specifically engineered for the Carisma M48S platform and are not recommended for other RC models, as sizing and fitment would not be guaranteed on alternative platforms or chassis designs.
- How do I apply these decals to my M48S? — Decal application typically involves cleaning the body surface thoroughly with soap and water, allowing it to dry completely, then carefully positioning and applying the decals according to Carisma's included application instructions, using a spray bottle with water and a squeegee to remove air bubbles.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
