.21 engine lets you take it straight to the competition, while
high-power fibre brake pads on adjustable vented steel disc brakes
bring everything to a fast stop. 15mm diameter large bore shocks
dampen the roughest of surfaces, and Trekker tyres from Elements
grip on every type of dirt or grass. 6-gear silicone-filled diffs
and a strong 4WD shaft drivetrain give it the rugged reliability
needed for maximum carnage on the track. The fully adjustable
suspension lets you dial in the Stealth XB to any track condition
or driving style, and the quality radio gear and electronics let

Designed with hardcore racing in mind, this is the ultimate premium
race starter kit!
Concept The Stealth XB was designed from the
ground up to fill a gap between the high-end racing kits for
experts with no radio or engine, and the cheaper RTR buggies with
lower quality components and gigantic engines. The result is a
PREMIUM RTR buggy with high-quality materials and spec with race
performance and RTR convenience. With a race-legal, .21-size engine
and radio gear that is ideal for anyone wanting to try a rallycross
buggy for the first time or as a second (or third!) kit, the
Stealth XB is perfectly positioned in the marketplace! It doesn't
have any recycled or secondhand components - everything was
designed specifically for this kit, so it's a fresh kit with a
proven racing design.

Chassis Layout A strong chassis and smart layout
is important for any racing maching, and it's no different with 1/8
scale rallycross buggies. The Stealth XB, with its totally fresh
design from the ground up, takes in all the latest racing
refinements from the fastest buggies on the track and combines them
in a brand new package! Check out the top features of the chassis
and layout: 3mm chassis made from 6061 gunmetal anodized aluminium,
deep countersunk screws and sturdy dirt guards. 6061 aluminium
radio tray, middle deck, and front deck for light weight and great
looks. Composite chasis braces connect to radio tray to reduce
weight and eliminate flex from the suspension. Hex hardware
throughout for easy rebuilds and less hassle than normal Philips
head screws. Low centre of gravity design for increased confidence
in the bumps and better handling in the turns. Large flywheel
opening allows rocks to exit chassis and extra-easy starting with
any off-road type starter box. Sealed & padded battery & receiver
box with sealed radio switch, emblazoned with custom Maverick logo.
Suspension A strong suspension design that is easy
to adjust and control is key to a good racing machine, no matter
what size it is or what type of racing you're doing. Maverick
designers looked at all the top-performing cars out there and
combined the best suspension designs into one ultra-competitive
package. The Stealth XB gives you full adjustability: anti-dive,
anti-squat, camber, caster, droop, Ackerman, roll centre, camber
link position, shock position and wheelbase. Just look at all the
amazing features of the suspension and steering: Proven race
geometry with championship-inspired design. The zero kingpin
'inverse angle block' design is a definite winner, and out on the
track it will give you the confidence you desire as you go head to
head against the club pros! Extra-strong race-engineered suspension
arms are designed with the optimal balance of strength and flex to
tackle the most demanding racing tracks and racing drivers! Front
shock tower is 7075 aluminium for extra durability and increased
reliability. The rear shock tower is 6061 aluminium, anodized the
same cool gunmetal grey. 15mm dia large bore shocks handle the
bumps and jumps, soaking up everything you throw the Stealth XB at.
With a 6061 aluminium body, o-ring seals and thick shock shafts you
know your tyres will be stuck to the ground when you need traction
and control. Strong steel turnbuckles with chunky gripping points
for easy adjustment of camber and front toe. Extreme steering angle
for tons of steering - there's no other buggy with as much steering
angle! Extra-strong 6061 aluminium steering link with 3 adjustment
holes gives you confidence that you won't lose control, and the
extra adjustments let you fine-tune the Stealth XB to your driving
style. You also get an integrated servo saver with an easy to reach
knurled aluminium adjustment nut. High torque, powerful metal gear
servo factory-fitted for increased reliability when you need it
most. Swaybars fitted for zero chassis roll in tight turns: 2.5mm
front, 3mm rear No e-clips anywhere! The Stealth XB uses strong
steel hex-head screws with locknuts to secure the suspension in
place.
Drivetrain A long A-Final race in the 1/8 scale
buggy class can be as long as 45 or 60 minutes, so you have to be
secure in the knowledge that you'll be getting the power to the
ground at all four corners. Check more details of the Stealth XB's
drivetrain here: At the front, rear and centre of the Stealth XB
are tough and reliable gear diffs with 6-gear internals for extreme
durability, and all three are silicone-filled for extra tuning
ability. The factory settings are a great all-around starting point
for most drivers, but you can easily adjust the torque settings to
your preferred driving style. Easy-access diff cases allow you to
get straight to each diff with minimal interference so you can swap
out diff oils and tune the car's drivetrain directly. Front
universals get the power from the diffs to the wheels smoothly and
with no loss of power. At the rear and in the centre of the car are
heavy duty dogbones to handle the delivery of power to all four
corners. Front and rear adjustable vented steel disc brakes with
extra-powerful fibre brake pads give you short stopping distances
with maximum control. Full rubber-sealed ball bearings for minimal
maintenance and smooth power delivery. Satin black, amazing-looking
Turbine design wheels with 17mm hex hubs fitted with race-ready
soft compound Elements Trekker tyres with Edit moulded inner foams.
Engine Finally, a race-legal .21-size engine in an
RTR buggy! Like any RC freak, we love it when massive engines are
included in kits, but when it comes to racing, you usually can't
use those giant mills on the track! We decided to use the most
powerful, easy to use .21 engine we could get our hands on, check
out the engine and everything connected to it here: Maverick .21
