Garry Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 # MV12205 - Strada SC 1/10 RTR Electric Short Course Truck With 3-Pin UK 240V Charger The latest Maverick kit is the fantastic Strada SC 4WD short course truck! 'Short Course' trucks are the latest rage to dominate the off-road racing scene, in both full-size and RC versions - the enclosed arena layouts, multiple jumps, sideways drifting action and touring car-style driver match-ups make it a thrilling spectacle to watch, and now hobbyists can match that excitement in 1/10th scale with the Strada SC! With industry-leading support directly from HPI Racing UK, the entire range of Maverick RC cars and trucks is a wonderful way to get tremendous bang for your buck and have fun at the same time! With the Strada SC, you'll be on the track and racing with your short course truck-driving friends in no time! Every kit comes fully painted, complete assembled and fitted with top-quality radio gear that lets you rip through the corners, bang bumpers and get airtime quickly and totally pain-free! The Strada SC is 1:10th scale, meaning you can run it with all other 1:10th scale cars, buggies, trucks and truggies that you'll find at most RC tracks. It's the ideal size for fun! The Strada SC is built on the extremely tough Strada moulded tub chassis, with a strong 4WD shaft drivetrain that gives full power in all conditions, and the sealed bevel gear diffs let you have maintenance free fun!

Si Coe Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Actually there is a lad runs a Maverick buggy at Bury in between rounds (he isn't actually racing it yet) and I've been very impressed. OK, so its not a patch on my D4 but then the whole car barely costs more than my servo so what do you expect? It looks cheap, but its very robust, drives well and handles the Losi 6.5t brushless system its just had fitted very well. It is a bit dumpy looking as a buggy, but under a Short Course shell you can't see that. Put it this way - I expect it will be at least as good as the 4x4 Slash Traxxas have just announced, but cost far less. If it was available as a kit I'd actually be tempted - being 4wd I reckon it could take on the SC10's and win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had several chassis, some maverick, some clone.. And they were all weak as hell! In particular, just behind the front diff, the bottom chassis has a tendancy to snap, even under moderate collisions.. Ive also snapped one by the spur gear in front of the rear diff... Also, they wont hold up to a traxxas for robustness in any definition of the word.. not at all.. This i can say with 100% certainty... For a start, theres a bucketload of slop on the axle carriers witch leads to a multitude of problems like prematurely worn or popped dogbones... the top plate may as well be made of cheese!! The main chassis is very flexable so it bends like rubber under most impacts, thus, warping the top plate.. the list goes on... As for performance, it is a decent, well performing chassis, but build quality and robustness of a choclate Teapot.rofl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthrc Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 ain't bad for what it is and excellent for the price, I was liking the slash 4x4 but only 4 bolt which removes the front or rear worries me as sounds weak, i like the hyper 10 SC so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It dont look to bad,but i dont think the shell and wheels go together,in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danharrison Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 i have a strada xb it can take the power better than all my mates buggys (durga, df-03, master smacker) i run a ezrun 8.5t on 3 cell lipo, i have hopped it up a bit. i have owned it for just over a year now and i take it out almost every weekend and go through 10-15 batterys on a day out. i do huge jumps and generally give it lots of abuse. the grand total for repairs over the whole time is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
