maverick on steroids
 

When i first got maverick starda XB:wub
i though what a great little buggy. than i got bored with it (as you do). than i decided to have fun..
here what i did so far:

13t brushless hobbywing, 2s lipo, hitec fast servo, dual rear shock conversion, short front shocks conversoin, paint job to match. semi slick on road tyres. i am just going mad with this thing. not sure what i want to achieve....

tell me what you think guys. any comments will be appreciated.

and this is the first run video

Looks good but i`m confused why you put short shocks on the front. That will shorten the front travel which is not good for a buggy.

Think maybe someone should have bought a touring car ;) :)

You need to buy a buggy and get racing, Car parks are S**T

If you really want twin shocks rear and stubby shocks front you should get the TC front mount and shocks and the MT rear set up and do it that way :D

update
 

short shocks were not working for me at all:blush:.! very bouncy. decided to stick with standard shocks at front. but with progressive springs and harder springs at rear.
was fed up with bend drive shafts, shocks and cracked wishbones, decided to fashion a bumper out of my old mi4 bumper. turned it upside down. a bit of dremmeling a bit of screwing and it fits!!! very happy ))

Tried a top speed run and only squeezed 51kph. answering how i measured, iphone strapped inside with speedo app. :p not enough speed! i think 3s lipo with 6.5T should do the trick)
