Why Maverick?
HPI Racing have been bringing new people into RC since 1986. But in 2007 we realised more and more people were tempted by low-cost, low quality no-name RC products. We know that every hobbyist needs to start somewhere and that if a customer enjoys a “cheap” RC product they could some day become a Savage or Vorza owner, but the problem is – if their first low-cost RC lets them down – they might give up and be done with RC for ever…and we can”t have that! So Maverick was born, with a simple mission – make good quality RC accessible for all and start people on their journey the right way.
Thirteen years later, Maverick is a firm fan favourite and an established brand across Europe, and we”re not stopping there!! The whole HPI Racing family is pushing forward along with Maverick, so be sure to check out the Phantom and other exciting new products to follow real soon…
