adolf hamster Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 that looks nice. looks a bit like a redcat rampage mt thats possibly because it is, or to use a more freindly term its 'based on...' thing is, i thought maverick were like a sister company to hpi, and hpi ought to be releasing a tvp savvy design that they bought off the aussie's at some point.

grumpygramps Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) I know that Maverick are "helped" by Mirage Racing, am I also right in thinking that they have connections with HPI...? (oopsy, took so long trying to find out about that someone else beat me to it...) Looks like a great truck for the £££s whatever.

Erevo Maxx1 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 You are right grumpy gramps they do have connections with HPI as do Edit aswell as for the car it looks good a bit like a big savage pretty cheap i wonder if it is better than the FTX destroyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erevo Maxx1 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) yupthe destroyer looks like a horse bu it is heavier than a baja 5t for some reason Edited October 3, 2010 by Erevo Maxx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebro Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It does look better thaan the destroyer i will give you that. It got a lot of things going for it too. Twin servos, alloy bits where you would want it well some places anyway and a 26cc to boot but am just hopinfg it not some silly 3 head bolt config like on the pt engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echlin W Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 These are coming with 30cc engines now as a late decision by HPI Europe, Thought they needed by power. The pic's still say 26cc but look forward to 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would good to see what parts are available for them though as if i got 1 i know i would need spares in the box as i like to break things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would good to see what parts are available for them though as if i got 1 i know i would need spares in the box as i like to break things but you like to rebuild and change everythin to ste lol. that is a mint truck for the cash tho. is it rtr for 595.

I know i do but still if the parts aren't available easy would be an off putter. And price is very appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste77_2008 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I know i do but still if the parts aren't available easy would be an off putter. And price is very appealing very true but i`m assuming it is compatable with the redcat parts and spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
