Maverick Strada MT 4s Conversion | Success or Failure? (First Test)

Hi guys and welcome back to another video!
***
Next Giveaway will be at 1k subs, announcement video will go live at 750 subs and the prize this time will be an RC CAR!
So be sure to subscribe to the channel so that you dont miss out!

So Today we test out the Maverick Strada MT on its brand new 4s Conversion which you can see on the previous video here:
• Maverick Strada MT | 4...
The process went to plan and things look very promising.
*we are running a 12t pinion just for testing purposes before we move to anything more as I didn't want to stress the electronics too much on initial testing so the runs may look a little slower than usual especially on 2s!*
I have larger pinions on order so we can go for run no 2 and hopefully be seeing some insane speeds with this thing.
SKYRC - GPS Speed Meter is on order from banggood but is not expected to be in stock until 19th July so will be a little wait before we can actually test the speed of this!
List of parts used:
JX 6221MG 20KG Large Torque Digital Standard Servo Metal Geared (BANGGOOD) £10
2230KV Motor (From a forum's For sale section) £12
Team Orion Vortex R8 130a ESC (MODELSPORTUK) £46
12t Pinion gear
Total: £68 for a complete brushless conversion!
We test on 2s, 3s and finally 4s and see the outcome will it be a success or a failure?

Just discovered your channel.... Loving it. Just got back into the rc hobby

[@alanviloria3517]

Loving the videos keep em coming 🙏💪

[@beyondRC]

Cheers mate! 👍👍👍

[@note3traveltravel75]

Thanks for the vid. Looks amazing. Bang for your buck for sure. Love to see the speed test so please get the GPS sorted. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next installment. Btw, had a look at simmer of the cheap brushless options on Bangood, any suggestions on buying non-branded?

[@beyondRC]

All in less that £200 so once all the issues are evened out should be a great truck. I have seen a lot of the Banggood specials the thing that worries me is spare parts support and having to wait up to 14 days for things to arrive I like to have my models fixed quickly and back up and running again! I will take the plunge and get a banggood special as a few have asked for the same thing so its on the list of things to do! GPS ordered and not due in stock until mid July unfortunately they are hard to get hold of and always out.of.stock!

Nice vid mate going to order the team orion ESC seems to really deliver.

[@beyondRC]

Definitely it was the cheapest 4s capable ESC i could find and almost half price because no retail packaging or instructions were included. They are still in stock on the modelsport website at £46. I then downloaded a pdf instruction manual from the Team Orion website explaining the program functions and end points etc. Its the usual sort of set up for most ESC's. Glad you enjoyed the vid have a couple spurs on order so will be back with this and a bigger pinion should be very quick!

[@philliplyn2692]

Really like this truck can't go wrong with the upgraded parts just add powerful batteries with charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

[@beyondRC]

Its a great very capable but also durable truck its one of my favourites and on 4s its a beast! Seriously quick!

[@carfraind1198]

Is this better than a moverick strada rx rally car

[@BusbyBiscuits]

If I come home and something hasn't broken, it's a bloody miracle.

[@beyondRC]

Exactly its the nature of RC haha! All part of the fun. Break, fix and repeat 🤣. If I haven't broken anything by the end of the day I wasn't Bashing hard enough!!

[@BusbyBiscuits]

@@beyondRC BTW the HSP spurs fit, and are much cheaper. I'd order a stock of them if you plan on sticking with 4s 😄 I would have thought 3s and gearing it up might be the best way to go.

[@beyondRC]

I will double check and see if I can get a steel spur maybe HSP do one as maverick themselves don't sell an upgraded spur. 3s and higher gearing is definitely an option if this thing on 4s is causing too much hassle. Currently awaiting the replacement spurs and can't wait to get this fixed, back out and hopefully have a more successful time 🙌

[@BusbyBiscuits]

@@beyondRC I never found one 😔 There is a steel one for the Nitro, but it's MOD1 and bigger, so you would have to cut a hole at the bottom of the chassis for it.

[@xzenonuk94]

hehe awesome :)

[@beyondRC]

Thanks 😁
