Hiya mate, I have seen a couple of Strada's running at our club and they seem fairly robust, but parts are well priced and fairly easy to get hold of if you break anything... they are pretty noisy I have to say tho', and whilst this is not a problem, it is very noticeable when you are running with more expensive(read quieter..)makes... They also seem to lack a little in the speed stakes too but this may just be the standard gearing/drive ratio but it may well be a chassis dynamics issue, i.e. the chassis might not adjust enough to enable it to go fast due to weight, grip, balance etc...
If you are looking for longevity and want to be competitive maybe an option could be to look at a "better" brand or maybe a cared-for top end brand such as xray, schumacher(english.!)etc...
I think Maverick might be a part of HPI so the support should be there if needed...
