If you are new to RC cars and looking for something around $150.00 AU, then the maverick strada tc is for you. Everything in this car is ajustable, even oiled filled shocks !! competitors like tamyia TT-01 and hpi e10 doesnt even come close. The car has more torque than e10 models due to low turn engine. This car is also great for turning into a drifter. just add drift tyres and off you go.
Okay bad points, battery runs out after like 7 mins !!! great take off speed but lacks top end for touring car. This car is more ideal for dift conversion.

i have a mt the monster truck of the line up my m8 has one i drove it into a lump on the path it rolled sevrel times i was like it had some amour on it but its a good car insanly cheap i also drove it on a track and i owned:-) good car and lots of fun & before i forget it holds the battrey life incredably well *****.

We bought our SC model this morning. It had a very minor shunt into another car and the front of the body shell was ripped off. Was expecting it to absorb very minor damage. A low speed 'tap' on a wall took care of the bumper and some more body shell. Upon further inspection the damage was unbelievable. The mounting bracket on the front of the chassis was broken and two of the body shell mounting pins sheared off! None of these shunts were that bad but the damage caused is not what you might expect even from a low cost modern toy. I've owned RC cars 25 years ago that took much more wear and tear than this car. Beware!

Maverick Strada TC is a very good car but i do recommend to get it to race standards, buy a good powerful battery, new reciever and a better charger!!! I race it at my club and it races perfectly. At the moment im competing with cars that are worth £400 to £500 pound cars and sometimes winning. overall

Good Points: Fast for electric i live near the beach and it is as good off road as on.this thing will go anywhere.fantastic

Bad Points: Comes with a six hour battery charger and the battery is not the best on the market mine had a fault but the nice man at the model shop gave me a 3000 battery and i bought a fast charger excellent now and so easy to drive

General comments: If for any reason "and i cant think of one" you want more from you MT ALL parts are upgradeable and sold separately great if you love tinkering for me its enough to handle FOR NOW the MT comes with, no AA batteries for controller so you will need to buy 8 of them. The Maverick Srada MT is very strong i have already had it jumping and the 8 point oil; filled suspension is a touch of genius. Out of the box the receiver aerial wire is too long for the plastic tube so UP TO YOU but i cut mine to length so the end cap could be fitted it works great. The body is made of tough plastic better than most models i have seen,comes with full decal and extra stickers to boot. Also has plastic clips to make the suspension harder they are a sinch to fit and you get more than enough. All in all this truggy is the bees knees i may or may not let my 10 year old son have a play "NOT".lol. thanks to nitro rc its FAB. xx
