Bling! ...

I'm a huge fan of hop ups .. I do try to stay functional when up grading so tend to stay away from alloy suspension arms etc but I do think alloy hubs, drive shafts and dog bones are a good thing to consider.

So when I saw these new iON alloy upgrades I almost spat out my beer... the soft gold anodizing is possibly the best choice I have seen from ANY manufacturer and will match my usual Grey,White and orange colour schemes sooo well... I've already have the front & rear hubs on order.. can't wait.

It's about time....

I've had Maverick RC cars for years... I own Buggies of two different scales, I have a Truggy and a Monster truck... and I go slow with a Scout rock crawler... I also own over 20 other RC cars but have recently noticed that a huge amount of my time actually driving anything is usually behind the pistol grip controller of a Maverick RC car ...

So it's bout time I did a blog dedicated to the brand that I love to thrash, bash and even race from time to time...

Many people including me think of brands like Tamiya, AE, Schumacher etc when they think of iconic brands... but I truly believe that Maverick and of course other brands that share the same OEM chassis types need some love as they are far more involved in sharing the love of RC then many give them credit for.

Even though I will be focusing on Mavericks here as they are local to the UK and for me have the best looking products I think I should tip my hat in this first post to Himoto and HSP who actually design and manufacture the base chassis for 90% of these cars... Without them we would not have the quality products that have helped keep RC alive.

I would also like to thank HPI UK for bringing the Maverick brand into the mainstream. I have several HPI cars and I'm so happy that Maverick are part of that amazing RC family. HPI's service and support are second to none in the RC industry and I will always show my support for them.

So.. first post over.. hopefully some bash vids soon and a bash report on the new alloy upgraded iON chassis will follow...as soon as the parts I've ordered arrive... :)
