Why Would They Make It Like This?!

The HPI Maverick Strada XB is a 4WD 1/10 scale RTR buggy with brushless power and decent performance out of the box. It turns 6 this year, being released in July 2018.
We recently looked at another model from 2018 in the HoBao Hyper SC10 ( • HoBao Hyper 10SC 1/10 ... ) and it was very, very good. Will the cheaper but full-featured HPI deliver the same whopping value?
One way to find out! Let's test!

They're basically a HSP buggy that's something like a 12 year old design. The front has waaaay too much flex in it to be controllable at speed. I had one years ago the RX version & I had to fit alloy front suspension & steering components because it was pretty uncontrollable, it made a huge difference.! The shock towers are made of bubble gum.! The diffs will take 3S power, as will the rest of the drive train, but there's no slipper clutch so the diffs can take a beating. Parts are cheap & they're everywhere too.! The brushed version costs around £130/$150 in the UK. Mine would probably still run if I wanted it to, I'll probably end up giving it to one of my neighbors kids like I often do with cheap old RCs. Another great video.!! 👍 👍 👍 Please stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍

My son drives a strada as well. He bashes the crap out of that thing and never breaks it. A month ago he jumped i like 6 meters high in the dunes and no problems at all. That setup is a strada mt. Maybe thats much stronger but that thing is a beast. The vid is on my chanel

Could well be the difference. The buggy ain't great!

@DonaldBurns-we3wy 3 месяца назад

You are correct, you made a mistake with it, just like I did with the rally version, they are garbage and that's exactly where mine went. A, "live and learn" situation, thanks for the videos, better luck next time, to us both.

@RCTNT 3 месяца назад

It's an opportunity. I'm toying with the idea of designing a chassis for it and reusing the good parts. Dunno if I will yet but it drove so nicely, I'm considering it!

@muskokamike127 3 месяца назад

13:10, he was nicer than I've been, I've referred to your driving as "like a drunk monkey" hahahah One point: your rubbish driving can be tempered by turning down the end points on the steering so you don't over steer in turns. I've noticed that about your driving, it's more forgiving on pavement but spins you out on dirt. But it doesn't help that your track isn't the smoothest either. You did really well when you were on the paved track doing the Rlarrlo.....

@RCTNT 3 месяца назад

I'll keep it turned up so I can improve. Though when I'm not trying to observe, think and talk usefully, I can concentrate on just driving and am able to get a car around the track much more readily!

@Gerar79 3 месяца назад

I completely agree with the final assessment. I don't know this Maverick model but I have been able to see the old models, both the monster and the 1/10 truggy and they were of terrible quality. The entire car would bend and break at the slightest jump or crash. It seems like the new monster is better but I haven't seen it in person yet.

At least your review was better than the car😂. Hoboa have just released a 2.0 of there Hyper TT which might be worth a look for you. I’m hoping some of the components are interchangeable with the original.

It drove so well I was really wondering why it had been discontinued! Surely it should have been really, really popular for the money! And then... Oh right, I see. A buggy that can't survive one crash. Big sad.

@farmoboy83 3 месяца назад

chassis is the same as my absima touring 1/10. Good but not for hard bashing since plastic is a lot more brittle than for example any hbx i have ever tested.

@RCTNT 3 месяца назад

That's fair, though I wouldn't call this 8 minute drive "hard bashing". It should survive a few tumbles!

@PankoPengwingo 2 месяца назад

I had the "Exceed Sunfire" variant of this buggy and I wasn't impressed, this chassis works as a slow, brushed "drift" car but it falls apart anywhere else.

@RCTNT 2 месяца назад

And doesn't that just sound depressing! Honestly, it went pretty well until it broke. I was quite enjoying it. So much so that when I get a bit more time after my current project is complete, I'm still playing with the idea of designing a better chassis for it, with the same geometry, and moving everything across to it. I reckon it could still be great. Just needs a little more thought to durability.

@davidr7813 2 месяца назад

This car is just a HSP warhead with the radio gear and battery swapped to opposite sides of the chassis, I tried running these but there is just too many drawbacks that would cost to much to fix and even then it would still be lacking. There are option parts but HSP have a new buggy that fixed most of the problems with this car, but I haven't seen the new car for sale here yet,

@RCTNT 2 месяца назад

Oh yeah? That's interesting, thanks! I have little experience with HSP so didn't recognise it. But it's unsurprising that it's such an old design. I'll keep an eye out for HSP's updated version, maybe it's worth a look. Cheers

@surfside75 3 месяца назад

@RCTNT I thought It was strange that losi would discontinue this version. It's such a great desert racer! The new 1/10 baja rey is a 2.0 and doesn't share enough parts. The feont suspension, roll cage, body and rear axle are all different😪 Have three new baja rey. One is being fully built as a tribute and will stay on shelf most it's life. These other two -king shocks and a black rhino version will be upgraded to withstand my style of bashing. Two baja rey! So now me and my dad can race equally😁👍

@RCTNT 3 месяца назад

I'm looking at it like I got a reasonable brushless system and a set of wheels I can use on another machine. I'll give the radio system to someone at the club who needs one and the servo goes in the spares bin for buggies and stuff. It's not a disaster - and I got a good little video out of it anyway!
