Default RE: Anyone know about these: Maverick Atom XT/XB?



Hey

We use these Atoms at my club .

We all have one and run two classes , a rtr class and modified. So far the RTR guys are leading the modified class, Just

Its a little side series we have unning during the wet weather here .

These wee trucks are great except that the shocks are terrible. They leak badly and the shocks rip out of there shock caps easily. Its kind of annoying because you can give them soooo much abuse and they are solid and then on a minor bump the shocks just tear apart. The steering isnt great either.

Other than that they are great , pretty quick too.

Also great battery life from the standard battery my 1100 pack managed to put 1200 back in and lasts an easy 12-15 at race pace.

It's great value and stock massively powerful. It's the only mini I've had that will wheely with the stock power system, and do a good 20-25mph out of the box.

We all have one at my club and none of them will wheely stock though []
