Seems that everyone else gets a thread, why not the Mavericks? There wont be a ton of people, but hopefully a few of us can start turning heads at the track.
Discuss setups, and racing here.

I hope it doesnt rain saturday, I want to get the MOC in victory lane! :)

Yes this is a good idea. I hope it dosent rain on sunday I have some 6's and 7's that I need to use to get the 03' car ready for this mod season. Here is my latest carpet setup. If you want to see pictures of it go to the web site and it's under 03' racers rides or somthing. I think mine is the only one up there so far but if not I'm Dave.

Setup for carpet Oval in Stockton:
Front Springs: Left-Wolfe std Green. Right-Wolfe std Red
Lube: 50,000 wt mugen diff oil.
Castor: L-1* R-1*
IRS Block position: Left side-Longest position in the top hole. Right side-Short position top hole
Arm Angle: Left side-Keep the upper arm level with the lower arm. Right side- shim the outside of the arm with 2 wolfe 1/8" brass shims.
Wheelbase: Left side-Second hole from the top on the chassis and forward hole on the plate Right side-Second hole from the top on the chassis and back hole on the plate
Width: Left side-Wide position on the plate. Right side-Middle position on the plate
Center Shock Location: I used an IRS chassis brace standoff and had a ballcup on the shock. It was in the third hole from the front.
Center Shock: ASC shock, 50wt trinity oil, #2 piston, OLD Gold RC10 front spring, .71 MIP gold shaft, 1-2 mm droop adjusted with ball cups
Side Shocks: Left-Gold Spring, 30 wt oil .39" piston size RPM med ball cup on retainer side. Right- Blue spring, 30wt oil, .36" piston, RPM med ball cup on retainer side.
Side Shock Location: Middle hole on brace
Pod: STD asc pod not offset.
Battery Location: All the way back!!!!!!
Electronics Location: All the way forward on the battery tray. Look at the picture on the MOC 03' driver car picture, it will show you how crazy it is.
Antenna Position: On the battery tray. This one is what makes the whole car work right. Because the antenna builds an electromagnetic field. When the car is turned on the field that is generated helps add weight to the LF to get the car to turn HARD!!!!!!
Tires: RF: Black LF: Grey RR: Grey LR: White. All Jaco and cut to 2.22.
Body: Protoform MC 02 HD
Motor: Arcor 19t, 41 108
Track: Stockton carpet oval about 250-260' flat small bumps on the front straight building #1.

Car was very fast. This is the setup that I finished the day with. I had a first place car but a motor that had the endbell on backwards prevented me from taking the win. OH well.

I'll have some info after this weekend and alot more after showtime on the 15th and our test session on the 16th at antioch.

pictures and more set-up info will be posted after this weekend on the intial first asphalt runs with the new cars...

we should have 4-8 cars out this weekend testing....

what is the website, would like to see the car.

Glad to see someone posted, I thought this thread was going down the gutter :(.

4 cell stock again this weekend, Ill be comparing the Maverick chassis to the Rocket chassis as far as handling goes with identical setups. should be a good matchup! :)

I'n gettin ready to debut my new '03 Maverick this weekend. Car looks pretty awesome! I'll let you guys know how it goes!

You will love the car Todd. I have fallen in love with the frontend. It is by fer one of the most tuneable chassis out there, due to the front plate setup. I would just reccomend to anyone that if you plan on using the front plate to tune the car with, which you should, then you would want to run the widest body avalible, that happens to be the 02 HD MC from protoform. I didn't have any clearence issues when moving my front plate around but I could see that to be a problem if your using a Intrepid or maby even a Grand Prix.

Just wanted to say one thing about the maverick chasis. The front end adjustability is the biggest advancement in oval racin' in the last 10yrs. Bravo Bravo! Well done

Cody: Thanks for starting a thread! There are getting to be more and more of the Maverick Oval Chassis out there, we are quietly making our presence known! You're really enjoying the 4 cell stock racing! What type of track do you run on? You've been up in the top 3 lately, haven't you? Maybe you could share one of your MOC set-ups?

There are pics of Dave's car on the site: MOC-3 Racer's Rides-Dave Very clean and well built!

Pictures of Kevin's car will be up next week. I've heard he's done them up in all red and black, should be sweet looking!

I've also put Phillip Owen's asphalt set-up on the site: '03 Maverick Oval Chassis set-ups He won the 19 turn class at Hobbyworld his first time out with the new car!

Todd: I know you'll be running towards the front with the new chassis, you've got the original version dialed in really well.

Metrodog: Thank you!

I like the 4 cell stuff now. Cheap and fun! I run on a flat asphalt track, about a 165 foot center line. Heres the 4 cell setup:

Body: Protofrom Monte Carlo HD with home made wing
Tires: Jaco Purples All the way around
Front end: Associated Long Kingpins, Wolfe axles, Wolfe Non progressive white springs on both sides, 1º negative camber on right side, 1º positive camber on the left. 0º toe in. Raceways MFG adjustable castor blocks.
Side Shocks: VCS shocks with 40 wt oil, blue left spring and silver right spring.
Center Shock: AE TC# threaded shock with 35 wt. oil and a red truck spring thats been cut to size.

Standard pod with offset hub on the right side, stock hub on the left side, 3/16 inch spacer. Kimbrough rear ride adjusters.

Battery position is all the way back and all the way to the left, and the reciever sits on the reciever pack mount since i dont use the RX Pack.

Cody: Thanks for posting your set-up. Short, flat, asphalt oval racing, just what I like! Most of the tracks we run on around here are considered medium to large size ... That's fun too, but I do enjoy the smaller, high lap count, bullring style racing!

How did your racing go this weekend?

Didn't you do up your car with orange anodizing? Can you send me a few pictures for the website?

I had to work this morning, so I couldnt make it to the track in time :(
I anodized a few of the parts, but i bought some new stuff like shocks, pod pieces, etc. so I need to get those done. Im trying to get a hold of the anodizing shop so I can get it finished. Right now the car just has blue hubs, shock adjusters, center shock, motor mount, etc. but when I get all of my orange stuff done it should be pretty trick.


My XXXNT is comepletely red, and it really turns heads, maybe the orange will look even better?

Todd,

Matt said the new chassis looked real good this weekend. 2nd place in 19T? Not bad for 1st time out of box.

Can't wait to get back out this weekend and bang some paint! Can't sit around too long, it looks as though Matt & Mike have their cars really dialed in.

Best Middle Turn Speed Car I'd Ever Driven.. Check Out The Website First Part Of Next Week Guys!!!! WE'LL HAVE A KILLER FLAT ASPHALT SET-UP POSTED AND SOME MORE PICS!!!!

Hello All,
Just my 2 cents, I bought the Maverick early this winter, and it was fast right out of the box. Excellent help from the Jake, JPH really stand's behind thier products.
The graphite is flawless and the fit and finish is second to none....
I'm putting in my order for the O3. tomorrow...
Thanks

Tom you will very impressed with the new 03 chassis. Just as Koz said this new chassis turns better than anything that I have ever driven. If you run flat aspault tracks then check out Koz setup that will be on the website this week. His car was on "stilts" today.

OK I will give you 2 Mavericks a win last Sat Nite at Ultra. I had the lead for 3 mins but I over geared and let you guys "Catch UP" LOL !!!! The cars did look really good I watched your qualifiers. I set up my pit pit in the living sunday to thrash on my 3rd place 10L so ya better watch out this sat !!!!!!!

Hey Woody, we need to hook you up with one of those Mavericks, then you won't have to work on that 10L! LOL! You guys had a good race, I have no doubt you'll pick it up! Like I said, not bad for an old road course boy! I can't wait to run 19 turn again, i've been doin some serious wrenchin for next week also! Can't let Chuck have it that easy!

Later,
Todd
Team Maverick

Any Records boys????? :devil:

Hey Eli, Tim Dilg set a new one in qualifying in stock, think a 59, 4.01 something. That was it. Plus, that one guy who usually puts down the track bite wasn't there, so the track was like ice till about an hour before qualifying! I heard he was out of town! LOL!

Later,
Todd

Hey Woody! That was a blast! Nothing like passing one of your all time racing heros! You get a lot of the credit because you were the one who got us all started back in the day when we were all just punk kids. :lol: I will never forget where we got started. Can't wait till this weekend, I know your gonna be packing some heat.Until then, later boss

(Major Woody's)

The Ultra Crowd is having too much fun! Nothing like a little pre-race smack talk! Seems like a real good crowd that run there ... Maybe us Nor-Cal Oval Racers need to make a road trip out that way!

Posted some set-ups and pics on the site today. Check out Kevin's MOC, the red is totally cool looking!

Jake

Hell...You're still a punk! What ya mean "back in the day"

I spent all last weekend installing my new T-max rear bumper on my MOC! LoL Gotta keep Todd(a.k.a. Jimmy Spencer) out of my a!#()# some how.

Jake: You need to add that part as an option for the 03 for all of us out there that run with hacks lol

i'm killing myself!!! thank you...thank you...i'll be here all night..be sure to tip your waitress!!!

Eric
Team Maverick

Jake,

I love Kevin's car! The red anodizing is definitely trick! Just what I need...something else to spend some money on!

Come on out to Ultra! Would love to have you... '03 Snowbirds Warm-up is in November. 165' flat oval, ozite carpet. Had a blast last year even though we stunk the joint up!

Eric
Team Maverick

We'll see if I got any heat left in these old bones. We may get Eli back for a weekend just to show us how bad we really are. About the spraying traction on the track. We did it last weekend Todd. As you noticed though the track was really bad from Fridays off-road guys. It took quite a while for it to come in.

Eric is right though - you are still PUNKS - so enjoy it while ya can !!!!!

To the top :)

Eric: RPM has a real nice stepped, chrome, rear bumper ... I'll make you a bumper sticker for it that reads "Todd, pass on the left!"


I appriciate everyone who has taken the time to send me in their race results, so I can post them on the site ... It would be great if more Maverick Drivers helped me out with this! Name, Track, Class, finish, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Jake

Hey Jake, if you design anything, it needs to be a 1/4" thick FRONT bumper for Eric's car! Now you know why I had to order another bumper from ya this week, cause Eric already used the 2 I had in stock! Yeah, I hit him in the feature, but that ain't nothin compared to the punishment he puts on those poor defenseless walls! LOL! Got my parts I ordered from ya today, can't wait to get the new car back out Saturday. I'll let you know how things go!

Later,
Todd

P.S. - MIGHT not hit Eric this week, seems as how we're runnin different classes! Of course, there's still practice! LOL!

i put a zillon laps on our cars last year and not once broke a bumper!
sheared screw off twice. both times were full punch t-bone the other guy,i had nowhere to go! and i don't use any foam in the nose either!!

To be honest...I've been through 3 bumpers since November!!

The first one was the weekend of the big Snowbirds warmup when an Open Mod driver drove under the rear end of my car and planted me into the far wall. I not only busted the bumper i bent the shit out of my IRS motor pods. You know you're having a bad day at the track when you're using the hammer to straighten parts out.

The 2nd one was attributed to Todd! He calls it a "radio glitch"! They always seem to happen though as I'm passing his slow ass! Go figure!

I'll take all the credit though for the 3rd one. Don't remember the details but actually busted that guy in 2 places!

I guess if you're going to break shit, you might as well do it well! Believe it or not, I'm actually pretty fast as long as i can keep the bumper on the car!

Hey Eric! While you are making a parts lists, don't forget to throw in all those poor bearings. How do you do that! :thumbsup:

Ok! you got me there too. I can explode a bearing with the best of 'em!

They just don't make stuff like they used to!

Stupid clouds are coming in, Im praying for NO RAIN! :(

Gunna do the double whammy this weekend, 6 cell stock and 4 cell stock, with one car. If I was sponsored by Maverick chassis Id run 2 of their cars *hint hint Jake* :D :dude:

Ill have my new radio tomarrow too...Bought KO Mars, I cant wait to use it.

Cody: We're hoping the same thing here in Calif ... no rain on Sunday! We've got a testing day planned, and rain will cancel it ...

Eric: Looks like you get the award for the most MOC bumpers consumed by any racer so far! Maybe I should send you a T-Maxx front bumper kit, complete with KC lights and a push bar!

now that would be a sweet setup!

Received my spring steel t-bar in the mail yesterday. Thank you. Will put it on in time for tomorrow's race. We'll keep ya posted as to the results.

Todd's hiding from me in 19T now. Got him spooked!

eric

Hey Jake! I've never seen anybody break a springsteel t-bar, yet!

I'll be online Saturday night around Midnight if you a live update or bumper count :lol:

Matt

Back from the day of racing......

I qualified 2nd in 6 cell stock with just a regular ol' L3O, went the wrong way with springs in the main and DNF'ed. Qualified 2nd in 4 cell stock .01 fester than 3rd place. Main was a smooth race after the first lap, car was flat out awesome. It was all driving because me and the leader were so close all day. I passed him with around 2 minutes left and won by a few car legnths......I figured out gearing with a 4 cell car, with 6 cell i was running 116/24 and in 4 cell im running 96/28. Ill email you a setup later on Jake, its different than the one I posted here.

Im selling my Rocket chassis and keeping the maverick:)

GOOD JOB CODY. GLAD TO HEAR YOUR FIGURING OUT SOME OF THE 4 CELL STUFF!!

Cody: Congratulations! Sounds like some really close racing in the Main. Nerves of steel to run that close! I'll add you set-up to the website asap!

Jake

The car was just dead on.....That and the new radio (thanks KOZ for the radio setup).

Good Luck to the Maverick Oval Chassis Drivers going to the Big Daytona Race! Phillip Owen and Robert Walker, have fun and do well.

Posted some more pictures on the site. (Robert Walker did up his MOC in yellow/gold anodizing, looks really sweet!)

Hope everyone had a good race weekend!

Nor-Cal Guys, you're all awfull quiet!

Jake

Jake, The new car was awesome last night at Ultra.I finished 3rd in 19t behind Todd, but I need a little more time with the car to dial it in.
Woody was TQ in 4cell stock and won the main, plus broke the track record the first time out with the new car. :p
Looking to next week at Ultra

Mel

Mel: Thanks for the update! Sometimes it takes a few runs to get a new chassis dialed in and "comfortable". 3rd place your first time out isn't bad by any means!

Sounds like Woody had a great first run on the chassis! Only 7 battery packs run on it in 4 Cell Stock, and he has a new track record, TQ, and a win .... NICE!

Todd Gross grabbed his third 2nd place in a row in 19 turn. And Mike D. finished in 2nd in 4 Cell Stock.

Keep up the good work at Ultra guys!

Jake
JPHRacing001@aol.com

You fellas got the car dialed in pretty fast. Great job and great runs. :eek:

Thanks Eli, I definitely take that as a compliment comin from you. Thanks for all the help you've given me, I really appreciate it! One of these days I look forward to scrappin with you guys in open mod! Looks like a ball!

Later,
Todd

Todd,
How about this weekend. No better time than the present! :thumbsup:

Dwight
