For my recently bought Maverick Strada MT (brushed) somehow the reverse is not working as I would expect ... At least I don't remember it being like that in the beginning, bought the car nearly a month ago. The forward throttle works well even with the corresponding "kick" (given that it is a brushed motor with NiMH), but the brake + reverse are kind of lazy. When underway and I start braking (pushing the throttle trigger up), it feels as if I didn't even do it - or the braking effect is very minimal. Then the reverse itself is also kind of lazy and slow. The throttle trim (CH2) is set to the neutral position (2 beeps), for the EPAs I have both HI and LO dials set at full speed. I tried looking for any setup for the ESC, but seems the brushed MSC-30BR-WP does not offer any, besides basic binding - which I already did again, just to be sure. The brushless version MSC-30BL does have some basic things that can be changed, but I do not have that one unfortunately.

Guys, a question - somehow the reverse is not working as I would expect ... At least I don't remember it being like that in the beginning.

Strada MT Brushed is now at home and doing very well! I already bashed with her a little (we have a big dirt BMX track in our village) and had to do some maintenance as a little stone got stuck somewhere in the drivetrain, so the wheels could not turn properly. I also already managed to crack the chassis, which is pretty thin - will glue it up and reinforce it from the inside, but am on the lookout for a spare one (even from a different car/source, than the original Maverick one). And lastly, I am collecting the required tools (I have some Allen wrenches, but I want dedicated Allen screwdrivers for easier handling) and spare parts (i.e. screws and e-clips, one of them already disappeared, the one on the front lower arm outer pin). The attached image does not show the additional NiMH Nosram battery (4600 mAh), which is on the way here, just the 4000 mAh that I ordered initially (sitting in the battery tray) and a Raytronic C10 mini (60W) smart charger is also not shown.

Hi guys, pretty new to the RC business! Planning to buy a Maverick Strada MT (brushed for now, potential brushless conversion later). But seeing as the local shops also offer the Quantum MT for roughly the same price, wanted to ask - is Quantum a newer and younger sibling of Strada? And/or are there any downsides to the Quantum vs. the Strada?
