MAVERICK iON DT | Cheap Desert Buggy! First Run

Welcome back to then channel!

So today we take a look at the Maverick iON DT - 1/18th Scale Desert Buggy!

We see how it performs on-road and then off road and in my opinion it is definitely a worthwhile RC gift for someone or as a first RC on a tight budget!

*MOVEMBER*

So you may notice in the video i am rocking a mustache! (DON'T LAUGH LOL)

Me and a handful of lads at work are currently supporting an event called movember which is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.

It's nice to support events like this and if you want to find out more info check here:

So back to the Maverick iON DT. Would i recommend it?

Well yes i would actually but i think there are a couple other options you have to consider if you intend to buy this as a gift.

The main one is you can get a WLTOYS 144001 for the same price or sometimes less which as you know i am a massive fan of and i think even though its a clone of a LC Racing EMB-1 it still offers a lot more out of the box that something like the iON DT!

You get a better battery, transmitter and a lot of metal parts compared to this Maverick featuring a lot of plastic parts and being smaller 1/18th Scale.

Get your 144001 here: https://www.banggood.com/Wltoys-144001-1-or-14-2_4G-4WD-High-Speed-Racing-RC-Car-Vehicle-Models-60km-or-h-p-1564051.html?p=YR1421018341201201WH&custlinkid=1346631

That said it is an enjoyable machine and for the price i can definitely recommend it as a christmas or birthday gift and would even be ideal to give to the kids to keep them happy whilst out bashing.

I certainly doesn't feel hobby grade although well built it just feels too fragile for my liking.

Plastic drive shafts also worry me should you decide to fit a mild brushless system into this!

I dont want to be all negative because there are points i do like about this but we will discuss this in the near future and maybe even a comparison to some more common budget RC's!

Hope you enjoyed!
