Hi all, new to 1/10 cars. Iv had xmods for years but decided to go bigger. So I got my maverick strada off my mate to start with. Brought a new body for it. Toyota trueno and I stripped the whole car down cleaned it all and rebuilt it yesterday.

Hello, hope you can offer some advice, I also have a maverick dc was brushed but I've upgraded it to brushless.

When I had it brushed it was reasonable fast (upgraded motor) and it drifted well, I had the front diff open and back locked but now I've got the brushless in it, the open front and locked back really isn't working... Do you know if your running all locked, or same as mine or all open?

I'd like to get it to drift well but also to get a nice straight run, when I go for the straight run the back seems to push it of to one side (generally left)

Sorry that's bit long winded but wanted to get as much info in as possible

Many thanks Karl

Got an ezrun 9t!

I've just locked both front and back diff to see what happens... It was happening whether I eased the speed on or gradually built up, front wheels are in line, but I have noticed the rears are turnt in a bit but I can't straighten them up any way :/

Thanks for the reply :)

The rear wheels of the car will have natural toe in, that will not cause the car to veer left

 

again i think its down to torque steer 

 

shaft driven cars dont like loads of power and especially loads of power that is instantaneous such as brushless

Oh poo, what would be the best thing to reduce this problem?

I'm considering trying both diffs open to see the difference, then just use the brushed in another chassis as a drifter

Thank you again :)

I'm also trying to find out what the standard setup would be for the maverick strada brushless would be!? Surely mine wouldn't be that different would it? And would different gearing help? Thank you :)

how do you mean standard setup. 

 

gearing you can try different pinions n spurs whatever fits, dont known a strada myself so cant tell you for sure but its pretty similar to a tamiya tt01 so guides on setting up those will pretty much translate over to the strada ..but not word for word per say.

 

unlocking the diffs ..might help you wont know till you try.

The brushless motor in mine is 10.5t I wouldnt want to run anything more powerful in it really. The rear diff is locked and the front open. Mine used to go more to the left but I put full camber on all wheels and played around with the toe angles on the front and managed to sort it. Alot of it is to do with the battery. Im running nimh batteries in it they are quite heavy especially to be placed on on side of the chassis. With the battery being on the right when you left turn it throws the car more sharply to the left. With a lipo battery it doesnt happen because they are much lighter. I am a newb to 1/10 but iv been running xmods 1/24 for quite a few years so weight balancing is something iv come across before especially on smaller cars.
