What in the hell are they doing? lol. Gahhh. I want them to succeed so damn bad but I can't justify purchasing anything from them at this point. Full blown death spiral is what they're in.

Yes, and hopefully the new owners will change the reputation. The Venture is a solid platform, with some aftermarket support


Hang up and Drive

That thing looks the same as numerous Chinese no name “crawlers” off of EBay, Amazon, Banggood, Wish, etc...🙄

What in the garbage?

Apparently, this crap was released back in 2017, discontinued and now re-released.

News on it in 2017: https://www.bigsquidrc.com/2017-mave...t-rtr-crawler/
Discontinued: https://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/mv12501
New: https://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/mv12505

Definitely looks like Exceed/Redcat/your favorite, random, Chinese company crap.

The Venture is so good that it boggles my mind that they waste their time with this crap.

The Maverick Scout had been around since 2011 so predates scalers, Europe only though. Was really popular back then as it was half the price of an AX10. It's a rebadged HSP Pangolin, so identical to a Redcat Everest 10.

Predates scalers in Europe?

Could have sworn my first SCX10 was around late 2008, early 2009 here in Canada, my memory is ass though.
