Carten RC M210R Plus Mini Video Build
Carten RC’s little M210 has been a wicked little car to drive, being a 4WD, shaft-driven M-Chassis-sized Touring Car that has all the bells and whistles to make it a really fun (and tuneable) ride.
Popular overseas (in the UK market), the company hasn’t seen much success here in the states. But local SoCal company, ActivRC, is looking to change that.
Jeff Shaw, owner and operator of ActivRC, has sent over one the new M210R Plus Minis for me to test. In this video, we’ll be unboxing this mini 4-wheeler and showing you what comes in the kit. It’s feature loaded but the best part has yet to come – the drive!
I’ve already put this thing on the track and it’s amazing – but let’s take it one step at a time!
If you’re interested in picking one of these up, head over to ActiveRC and grab it now – it’s available for an amazing deal and really is a blast to drive!

A couple notes include the inclusion of the pre-assembled turnbuckles (awesome in our book!), pre-assembled universal shafts and full bearings! We also love all the carbon fiber parts, including the top deck and battery tray parts.

In Part 4 of this multi-part build series, we wrap up the build of the Carten M210R Plus by installing the electronics, anti-roll bars and some final assembly parts.
One thing to note – even though you might be using different electronics than me, this video will still give you a good understanding of where they go and how to wire them up.
Overall, the Carten M210R Plus went together really well. The quality of the parts was great and no major issues arrived during the build. Maintenance has been easy as well and it’s super fun to drive!
A recap video complete with setup and tuning options coming soon.
Enjoy!
