    I've run 4-5 packs thru mine out front. Power sliding, hard braking, 360's, jumps, tumbles (over the side, and over the top).....Also hit a full trash can at 2/3 power... I've been Pushing it pretty hard..................Zero issues.

    mine arrived today...whoa it's massive...not had an 1/8th scale since Hot Bodies Lightning nitro many years ago. swapped in a bluebird brushless 30kg, 0.05s servo, 4s graphene 65c pack, whole roll of cloth duck tape inside the body (no rattles/wobble now), foam washers under clips (now with retainers like yours), set ESC to 7.4V BEC, dumbo gyro receiver and pressed go. it goes. it really goes. next a bit of shock oil weight tuning. I hear 900cst (about 70 weight) oil is a good starting point. I never take my vehicles out in the wet as it takes ages to clean them properly. maybe I need an airline...

    I have an hpi wr8, thia are also little beasts.. .the problem is that rally off road means nothing for an rc car. Yes they andle a little offroad session but a track qith small stones on it , or just irregular offroad and every tipe of grass will eventually block them. They look cool, they surely ca face some difficult terrain better than onroad car , theie chaszis are a littke higher than them, but nothing else. If u want to go purely offroad short course or monster trucks , some buggys or truggys are the way to go

    Got this is US from Amain for $250 shipped. It is an unbeatable deal and a phenomenal performer at 4S.
    For reference I have Arrma Mojave 6s, Kyosho Mad Van VE as my other toys currently. Maverick is incredibly agile, easy to handle and fast. J turns are effortless, handing is amazing in stock form. Body does scrape when turning at high speed, but it is what it is. Compared to Mojave 6s, it is less refined but you are paying less than 1/2.

      Mad value, as I can't put together anything to match, even with used parts, for the same price. For triple price it's easy to DIY something better, but then... 3x the price. :) I've been planning to make a custom 1/8 Repsol-livery Racing Laner with an aluminum chassis with 1/10 short course drivetrain and arms. But I'm seriously leaning toward buying this instead, which would cut the build cost by at least 50%

    My biggest concern about buying a car like this, is tire availability.
    It's a uncommon size and category(1:8 rally, 100x42mm and 17mm hex), so there's really no aftermarket tires that match it 100%.
    My best guess is 1:8 buggy tires, but most of them are 110-120mm tall.
    The closest I could find, are dBoots Hoons(100/42mm 17mm hex), but they are only good for on-road use.
    So the question is: What tire category will fit, without rubbing or sticking out?

    • @natestapp5573
      @natestapp5573 Год назад

      Good points.....But 110mm isn't too bad, though.
      I was already checking out 1/8 buggy tire/wheel combos.
      I wouldn't hesitate to run some 110mm meats.....Especially with the Dirt Biting lugs, AND the increase in ground clearance the 1/8 buggy tires would provide!

Of course if you did have a different 3 or more channel transmitter with a dial knob, you can control the gain from the transmitter too.... BUT, just an in option without changing out the Tx and Rx.

I have seen brand reputation in pieces after some videos on here which is unfair. 9/10 people never run at skateparks. Finally I have young kids and teaching them to respect their toys is what I am about..

      Question man so how big is this awesome car I know it’s 1/8 scale. I know the body looks wide, but rally bodies are like that. It doesn’t look insanely big too me.

      Anything that’s not tarmac I would consider off road. Roads are generally made of tarmac 👍😁
