2.4Ghz Radio System - Easy to Drive with a Real Steering Wheel Controller!
Anyone who has used a Maverick RC vehicle before will tell you that the MTX-244 transmitter makes for a fantastic driving experience with great throttle and steering response. When it comes to the Maverick 2.4Ghz radio system we cut no corners on quality or feel
Super-convenient Charging on the go!
Everything you need to get your Phantom XB up and running is included in the box with a 7.2V 1800mAh Maverick Element + NiMh battery pack and super-convenient Delta-Peak USB charger! Meaning you can charge your RC car battery with virtually any mobile phone wall charger! (Option to remove or upgrade this battery and charger are offered below).
It's so easy and fun to drive!
To drive the Phantom XB, simply pick up the controller with your left hand, put your left index finger into the trigger area, and then put your right hand on the steering wheel – it’s as natural as driving a real car! Turn the wheel to go left and right, and gently pull on the trigger with your left index finger to go forwards. To stop the car, gently push away from you with your left index finger - then release and push away again to go into reverse. It takes seconds to get used to this easy operation, and pretty soon you'll be racing with your friends!
Mighty enough to cause trouble - Nimble enough to avoid it!
Mounted to the sturdy moulded tub chassis featuring optimized weight distribution, the High Torque MS-06WR steering servo controls the steering through a dual-point bellcrank system with an independent servo saver to protect the servo against crash damage.
Featuring independent double wishbone suspension with oil-filled adjustable shocks on all four corners, tough metal 4-gear differentials front and rear and a fitted gear cover to keep debris away from the spur gear, you can drive in any terrain with confidence and complete control.
Every Maverick car features a fully detailed and painted body with a design that not only looks amazing, it provides additional protection for the chassis components.
