b19jas Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Same here bud. I got an XT which has just become brushless but i cant find anything either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_Rc Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Im in the same boat lads, got a strada MT Evo S but cant find any hop-up :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19jas Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 TBH i dont think it helps not knowing who makes them. I assume they are a copy of something but what i wouldnt know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_Rc Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 i think im going to sell mine soon as i bought a savage and so far it seems 10x more durable and stronger than my MT Evo S, shame as i only bought it brand new 3 weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkhouse Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey guys, ive got a mav strada mt too, although not the EVO model but its pretty much the same. Right, so the HSP Brontosaurus is exactly the same truck- thats how i get cheaper spares when i have a crash, maverick charges the earth whereas a cheaper company like HSP are dirt cheap even tho its the same part as maverick. Also the Nitrotek Bugcrusher is the exact same truck again so upgrades are easy to come by its just knowing where to start looking, try typing it into google and u'll see how many upgrades there are out there- its just that maverick dont brand them! Try this site: rcmodscars and check out my MAV STRAD: Strada MT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19jas Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 nice one very handy to know. They Axial 2.2s on your rig? I know the font has all gone wrong but my "e" dont work and copy/paste plays up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkhouse Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 The tyres are off a maverick scout rock crawler and the rims are 2.2 traxxas geodes, they are stock on the traxxas summit 1/16, it was a nightmare finding rims to fit those tyres- without going for beadlocks of course. I think the only real aluminium upgrade you need for the strada is the aluminium rear uprights, mind you thats pretty much goes for any truck- ive been through about 4 sets of plastic uprights on mine and i still cant be bothered buying alloy ones, oh well.

Rc lari Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hi has anyone else used the HSP upgrades? I've hot the maverick strada xt evo s which hsp is this like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc lari Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Lol. I crass into a tree stump cut low at other end of friends garden and now need front steering hub. Love the look of you rear hub. Do you know which HSP I need to get parts from for my xt evo s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc lari Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've used the HSP upgrades on my original Strada MT, I got them from here: http://www.rchobbyestore.co.uk/rc-spares-c1/spare-car-parts-c2#c42:t25 So far they've been really good, apart from an aluminium steering linkage bending but that may have been due to me crashing it into a metal pole sticking out the ground! Upgraded rear hub: ">http:// Just viewed link awesome mate nice one. Can't believe how cheap it all is. Will be putting an order in soon.

Luke B Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Do you know which HSP I need to get parts from for my xt evo s? I don't know exactly but I'm guessing it's one of these: http://www.hspracing.com/product.asp?catid=508 Most of the parts fit more than one model though, I expect the hubs are the same on the MT, XT, SC and so on. If you can find a part that looks the same as the standard one (apart from being aluminium obviously) it'll almost certainly fit, just make sure it looks exactly the same.

Rc lari Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Nice one thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc lari Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If I change the hubs do I need to get new bearings or us it possible to swap across?? Might/probably dumb question but heyho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke B Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The original bearings should fit as the new hubs should be identical apart from the material. They might need some "persuasion" to get them out of the original hubs though, it depends how firmly wedged in they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc lari Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 To be honest if I can get out I was just going to cut the plastic hubs in half and get the old units out. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghazghul Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd buy new rubber sealed ones. Rcbearings.co.UK do good quality ones at fair prices and sealed ones in the hubs will keep muck out. It's worth keeping the plastic hubs as spares and they are surprisingly durable. The alloy ones I found never quite sat the bearing right and the front ones suffered from bent steering arms.

Oh I have just ordered new alloy hubs!!!! And bearings aswell!!! :-( oh well let's hope it will be ok as just signed in to tell all and saw this message...

ghazghul Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You may get a fine pair of hubs... Mine were imports from China (as they are so cheap!) and I've had mixed quality. I also had a 4600kv 4 pole motor in mine which might not have helped with durability.. Sc8 and tenshock going in next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc lari Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Going to sound like I don't know what I'm on about but I don't lol... What's sc8 and tenshock? Lol think I need to get a botmore clued up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc lari Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wow just googled the sc8. Awesome!http://www.helipal.com/product_info.php?currency=GBP&products_id=8888&gclid=CJTs6eigtMACFYvjwgodU0AAIg Tenshock oh its the motor. Lol clued up a bit now!!
