  1. Great engineering... would love to see a buggy from these guys ...
  2. This looks very cool. I have several Q32's and this looks like a great competitor to that, fantastic to see RC companies trying new things.. If it's under £40 I'll get one for sure...
  3. Looks ugly in a not cool way and the suspension design looks to me like it would collapse inboard with hard driving and it's putting a huge amount of strain on that single vertical mount location. Very odd... and..not much adjustments available... It looks like a cheap Reely... and Reely's are really cheap...
  4. Maverick Strada's are excellent... The brushed versions are bullet proof. I have The 2014 XB, XT and an 2016 MT and I've driven them hard!.. I have upgraded the shock towers to CNC Milled after market alloy on two and carbon fiber on my XB. For the price they are in my opinion the best budget/intro RTR out there. As many might know they are HiSpeed RC OEM so the after market parts are everywhere but Maverick has a slightly better chassis design, plastics and the alloy on the new Mavericks are superb. I've raced my upgraded XB and it did very well against other buggies in the range such as the Tamiya TT02B and FTX Vantage. The only one I dont like is the new SC.. there is just something wrong with the body design... it looks to tall...
  5. Sure... It's a re-brand, and a wee bit more cash then WLToys... But it's expanding our options a bit, which cant be bad. Maybe it's got better electronics. Maverick and FTX are UK brands of HSP and Himoto but part of that deal includes improved electronics and even major structural changes such as the alloy and plastic composites. I own both Maverick and HSP chassis of the same car and I as far as I can tell the Maverick is a better made chassis, Everything is just that little bit better put together and better presented. Also re-branding means better options and choice for spares...
  6. It's the same chassis and the FTX Outback... I think the FTX has far better body options, the ranger shell is excellent...
  7. Knowing how often I front end things.... I'd have to say no to this.. Interesting design and I folowed it's progress but there is just too much financial investment in a motor to spend another
  8. They are perfectly fine for bashing around ... which is kinda what they are ment for. Great value. And for me.. the brushed stock versions are perfectly fast enough for such a little car that a brushless is just overkill K
  9. When are these going up on the site for pre-order .... ?
  10. I love my iOn .. thrash it around a lot. Really want the DT...!!
  11. That is fugly.. By far one of the ugliest shells I've yet to see.
  12. TAKE MY MONEY!! Can I arrange some kinda deal for postage to Malta that does not mean I have to kidnap and sell small children to afford it? K
  13. I ran the club at the Scout HQ on old skene road... not a huge place but was fun. Perfect for micros though. If I'm still here over the summer I'll be racing at Stonehaven yeah . Looking forward to seeing Phil and the chaps again. I'm hoping to stay in Scotland...it's my home. But may have to move for work. Trying freelance atm so if that pays the bills I'm staying
  14. Sounds a good plan. I'm hoping to be sticking around in Scotland again and would love to have a meet for a bash.
  15. The Stonehaven guys are fantastic! I raced there a couple of years ago, I even started an Indoor club in Westhill but had to move to Cambridge for work. I'm back in Westhill, Aberdeenshire again atm. I have a DEX210 to race, a FTX Carnage to Bash and a new Twin Hammers to go on forest walks...I also have a micro maverick ION 1:18th for indoor fun and can possibly arrange some indoor fun if others have micros.
