chrisbates94 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I brought a maverick strada dc today as I wanted to give drifting a go what are the best bits to upgrade first and where to I get them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gimp Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Do you have brushed or brushless model mate. It's a heavy chassis so I changed the shock fluid and quicker servo. Changing the front to a one way is a must personally but would do that once you get used to current set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me not been on for a while. As above, this was the same one I purchased for my son's DC Maverick. Works well. Also looking at ordering the rear spool kit but need to look at the original gear ratio as I think the upgrade one is 1.4/1.5 . Will look into it.

skiiidz Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You can also get quite a lot anodised bits for them if you know part numbers Currently got front and rear hubs and c hubs, rear shock tower and I'm waiting on front shock tower, the lower/a arms, all steering and camber linkages, rear body post mount, gear box mounts and diff cases I'll put a full list up of part numbers and where to get them from in the next few days once I've got abit time off work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiidz Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 One thing worth mentioning is that the anodised bits might not be all the same shade of purple / blue but if your like me then you won't care lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burklewis76 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 What's the best setup your all using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gimp Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Excellent mate. Please Skiiidz post part numbers etc if you could be a gent. My lad keeps on at me at adding some bling to his. I'm trying to work out some better steering arms . I've trimmed the current steering hubs down and shave the from hub down a little to improve some slight more angle but it needs more.

burgerboy78 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I got the rear hubs as I broke the stock plastic one, but the original grub screw that holds the pin to the lower arm is too small. Anyone else have this problem? I've gone through all my rc spares and can't find a bolt the right size or thread. Will probably have to head to my local hobby shop and see if they have something.
