Overview

The Maverick MiCROBE SC proves massive racing fun arrives inside small packages. A compact 1/24 scale off-road design squeezes proper short course technology into a versatile platform capable of running across indoor circuits or rough backyard dirt tracks. Underneath a Top Line polycarbonate bodyshell, drivers find a newly extended 1.5mm anodised aluminium chassis plate paired alongside composite sideguards. Such construction gives the vehicle a planted, precise feel during rapid cornering. Vented wheels feature foam inserts ensuring high traction over varying surfaces, allowing the truck to soak up bumps and exit turns confidently.

Mechanical reliability remains a priority throughout the fully ballraced drivetrain. A smooth 3-gear rear transmission works alongside metal outdrives, axles, and rear dogbones to handle continuous heavy acceleration. The setup includes a sealed gear differential to maintain consistent performance, keeping dirt away from vital moving parts. Suspension relies on longer, softer oil-filled coil-over shocks featuring threaded bodies to allow rapid adjustments matching specific track conditions. A reliable MSRS-702 2-in-1 electronic speed control manages power delivery to the MS-050 brushed motor, keeping the system operating efficiently.

A quick-access battery tray features an adjustable rear brace, making pit stops fast and fuss-free. Fully equipped with a 2.4GHz radio system and a compact LiPo battery, the setup provides everything needed to start racing immediately. Set up a miniature off-road playground and chase the fastest lap time!

Highlights

Portable 1/24 Scale Micro Mayhem Footprint

Small enough to go anywhere, the compact 1/24th footprint turns almost any space into a race track. It is ideal for tight indoor layouts, office car parks, or quick lunchtime blasts in the garden. Capable of reaching speeds up to 22 km/h (13.7 mph), the proportions are pure race truck, making it easy to slip into a backpack while still driving like a high-quality off-road machine wherever an opportunity appears.

Race-Inspired Low Centre Gravity Chassis Layout

Key components are positioned to provide a low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution to ensure maximum stability. This allows the truck to feel planted and predictable whether you are flicking it through tight switchbacks or landing off a jump. The carefully considered balance helps the chassis change direction cleanly and stay stable under heavy braking and acceleration, giving new pilots extra confidence.

Sidepin High-Traction Tyres and Racing Wheels

Dedicated racing wheels and Sidepin tyres are designed to make this tiny SC feel glued to the ground on carpet, dirt, or dusty tarmac. Foam inserts support the tyre carcass to ensure predictable handling during fast direction changes. The vented 7mm hex wheels help the tyres stay consistent over longer runs, giving you the ability to push harder during intense indoor racing sessions.

Rigid Front Bracing and Oil-Filled Shocks

The front suspension features rigid bracing that ties the suspension and chassis together for a solid, reliable feel. Combined with longer, softer oil-filled shocks, the front end tracks smoothly over jumps and landings without the steering going vague. This setup ensures the tyres stay planted, allowing the car to feel tight and precise even on rough, improvised off-road sections or backyard tracks.

Quick-Access Body Hooks and Twist Battery Locks

The lightweight shell uses a front shock tower hook and rear body clips for a secure fit that is easy to remove for maintenance. The ultra-quick battery system uses two easy-access 90-degree twist locks to release the pack in an instant for fast swaps. Everything sits snug and secure while driving, staying locked in place through hard rolls and landings to keep you in the action with minimal downtime.
