I am looking at buying one of these 1/5 trucks:
Maverick Blackout MT & Losi MTXL
I am having a hard time deciding on which one to gun for. It would be my first 1/5 size being experienced with 1/8 Losi LST truck in the past. I haven't found much in the way of forums or feedback on either of these rc's and would like the pro's and con's of them both? Judging from just videos and images I've picked up on them both, the Maverick seems to be far better built, I'm possibly completely blind here and of course never seen them for myself. Also the value of them is yards apart. Losi being almost double the price and I cannot see other than the size what I would be paying for other than a brand name at these point??
Placing £1.2k cash on the Losi right off the bat doesn't leave much room right away to buy spares or upgrades. But I'd rather pick that truck if people have had both and feel it's simpler or better built than the Maverick.
Key things I am looking for like any rc guy would:
Build quality
Spares and upgrade support
Low maintenance (Not having to replace crap designed parts)
With either truck to anyone's knowledge what parts do need replacing for strength and where can I get them here in the UK/Online please? I am not bothered about performance of engines yet just things to hold them together for longer etc.
