• Full GT24 Platform Compatibility — Designed to fit all GT24 1.0 and 2.0 Rally chassis models with 121mm wheelbase and 89mm specifications, providing broad compatibility across the current GT24 rally range and ensuring you can use this body on multiple chassis configurations if you're building multiple cars.

Technical Performance

The Carisma GT24 M-Sport 2024 Puma Hybrid Rally1 Painted Body Set represents a significant step up in authenticity and finish quality for anyone running a GT24 rally chassis platform. As a painted bodyshell designed specifically for rally competition, this component provides the visual authenticity necessary for competitive rally racing where presentation and genuine livery matter to serious competitors. The pre-painted finish is applied at the factory using Carisma's established production standards, ensuring consistent colour matching, graphics alignment, and protection coating that resists fading and damage from UV exposure during extended outdoor running sessions. The body shell is engineered with correct aerodynamic proportions derived from the actual Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 competition vehicle, meaning that when mounted on your GT24 1.0 or 2.0 rally chassis with 121mm wheelbase and 89mm specifications, the overall proportions and appearance will accurately reflect the real racing car. The structural integrity of the painted shell is designed to withstand the rigours of competitive rally running, where impacts with terrain and occasional contact with obstacles are inevitable. The paint finish provides both aesthetic appeal and protection against weathering, UV damage, and general wear associated with regular outdoor RC racing activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this Carisma GT24 Puma rally body fit my existing GT24 chassis? — Yes, this body shell is designed to fit all GT24 1.0 and 2.0 Rally chassis that feature a 121mm wheelbase and 89mm specification. Before purchasing, verify your chassis matches these dimensions. If you're unsure about your specific GT24 variant, contact our team at RC Model Shop who can confirm compatibility with your exact model.
• Do I need to paint this body shell? — No, this is a significant advantage of purchasing this product. The body arrives completely pre-painted in the official M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 2024 colour scheme with all graphics applied. You can mount it directly onto your chassis without any additional painting or preparation work, which saves time and ensures a professional factory finish.
• Is this suitable for beginners to RC rally racing? — This body shell itself is suitable for anyone operating a compatible GT24 rally chassis, whether you're a seasoned competitor or relatively new to the hobby. The ease of installation and professional appearance make it an excellent choice for beginners who want their car to look authentic without the complexity of hand painting. However, you'll need an assembled and functioning GT24 rally chassis to use this body.
• What body clips do I need for installation? — The GT24 platform uses standard Carisma Micro Car Body Clips, and this body shell requires a set of clips to secure it to your chassis frame. Compatible GT24 Micro Car Body Clips (x8) are available separately and are inexpensive to purchase. These clips simply push into the pre-drilled holes in the body shell and secure into corresponding posts on your chassis.
• Will this Puma body fit other rally platforms besides the GT24? — No, this body shell is specifically engineered and dimensioned for GT24 1.0 and 2.0 Rally chassis only. It will not fit other rally platforms such as different brands' 1/10 rally cars or other manufacturers' chassis models. Carisma produces bodies for their own platforms, ensuring optimal fit and finish.
• Can I use this on a GT24 2.0 if my current chassis is GT24 1.0? — Yes, provided both your chassis variants feature the 121mm wheelbase and 89mm specification, this body shell will fit both. The GT24 1.0 and 2.0 share compatible dimensions within these specifications, making this body suitable for anyone currently running either generation of the GT24 rally platform.
• How durable is the paint finish on this body shell? — The factory-applied paint finish is designed to withstand regular outdoor RC racing and is protected with a clear coat for durability and UV resistance. However, like any painted bodyshell, it can be scratched or marked by impacts and terrain contact. The pre-painted finish is far more durable than hand-applied paint and will maintain its appearance through extended racing seasons with normal care.
• Does this body shell include everything I need to complete a GT24 rally car? — This product is a bodyshell component only. To build a complete, running GT24 rally car, you'll need the chassis kit or fully assembled chassis, motor, ESC, battery, receiver, transmitter, wheels, tyres, and body clips. This body shell provides only the visual and aerodynamic upper component of your finished car.
