Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

About this product
The Maverick Microbe is a 1/24 scale 2WD electric off-road buggy that packs proper racing hardware into a chassis small enough to run on a desk, down a hallway or round a makeshift garden track. A 1.5mm anodised aluminium chassis plate, a fully ballraced drivetrain and a three-gear rear transmission give it a planted, precise feel, while oil-filled coilover shocks and vented wheels with foam inserts let it carve corners and soak up bumps.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants a hobby-grade racer for indoor circuits and small gardens, from first-timers to experienced drivers building a fleet. It arrives ready to run in a choice of blue, red, orange, green, yellow or pink. Want more speed? Compare it with the brushless Microbe Flux in the Maverick Microbe 1/24 range.
