wombat Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi all, I fancy getting an sct to use on the local buggy track and for a bit of light bashing. After much searching i quite fancy a Maverick Strada 1/10 , as this fits the budget. Brushed motor will be ok as will be running on nimh as well set up with batteries What are peoples thoughts on this model, and are there any similar trucks i have missed Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 You may be a little disappointed with the strada brushed, body is eggshell and its rather slow on NI-MH, a few quid more gets the jumpshot sct V2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I have a lovely Traxxas slash vxl, its only 2wd though, but rest assured it wont break if you look at it funny…plus it will come rtr (just needing a suitable charge) and will run lipo or nimh packs. i once (few years back now) t-boned my slash (not the one for sale) into the newly released Helion sct and i snapped it clean in half, the body shell, what was left of it was holding the two halves of the car together. it wont be the quickest round a track but it will put a big grin on your face. if you want something that will handle then its got to be a Team associated or along those lines. hope this helps a little, Gaz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks for that @Lone-wolf, did not consider a 2wd but after looking more at specs, reviews, youtube etc the hpi is looking good 👍 @Gaz!, thanks for the offer but the budget wont stretch to the traxxas 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
