Unboxing: Maverick Quantum+ XT Flux RTR

[@landonworrell4532]

DUDE YES!! Iv been waiting and hoping for this. Please keep putting more out for this truck and also the rest of the quantum lineup!

[@D.J_RC]

Great video as usual. Hopefully those flat spots in the tires come out as you run it. The truck looks like a contender.

[@thortrooper]

FYI Everyone that has this or is planning on getting it. The highest you can go on the pinion size is a 18T. This thing is awesome on 2S with the 18T on it now. 3S is over 50mph now! Cheers!

[@thortrooper]

@BigFistAlex You can just use any aftermarket Pinion gear ⚙️ long as it’s a mod 1 size. Also mine is for sale currently on EBay. Only ran it 15 times. All upgraded ready to roll. I just don’t have time for it anymore.

[@marsbase3729]

Awesome review, but I so wanted to pull the plastic film off the transmitter 2:39 lol 😆

[@brutallyaverage8293]

This looks like it will be 300 USD. If it ends up being durable it's got arrma's 3s line in sight. More features less cost.

[@gourobkundu2173]

I think they fixed the shocks and the tyres. Looking up to the bashing video. Love you. From India.

[@bartbbb1046]

3.2" tires are not that common, as far as I know. Is there any after market option?

[@MikeRCWorld]

Nice video and rig, big thumbs up

[@bobarends6324]

Max 10 esc with that huge motor! consider me impressed!!! :D

Awesome looking RC,cool review

[@that_radio_control_guy1911]

Pretty interesting that more brands haven’t gone fully digital with their manuals. I love paperback manuals though. I recon the heat sink was off so you can check out they upgraded motor setup. Great video Vas

[@thortrooper]

How many Amps is the ESC? Thanks..

[@TheTechBuyersGuru]

Looks like a lot of fun, sort of what Team Redcat did with borrowing from Team Magic for a rebrand. Still loving my MT10E. Also, in terms of this size, the longer wheelbase is something I have on my Pro-Line Pro Fusion SC, and it's also featured on the Arrma Big Rock. Moving to the 1/8-scale buggy (or 1/10 Short Course) platform is the future of 1/10-scale, or should I say 1/9th-scale, monster trucks?!? But question for you Vas: what happened to your wonderful video studio? Are you updating your setup?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you for your nice comment, but there's nothing wrong with my studio, I just haven't been in the mood to be in front of the camera lately. I will get back in front of it soon. :)

[@TheTechBuyersGuru]

@@AussieRCPlayground Understood, the YT thing can be a burden sometimes. You took the time to mentor me, a total stranger, early on, and for that I will forever be in your debt. So let me say, if you are feeling sad and unable to find peace, do not keep it to yourself. Please reach out to your friends and family and say "I need help." They will surely reply "I will do anything to help."

[@thortrooper]

Is this a 1/8 scale Truggy? Or a 1/10? Also does it have sway bars front & rear? Thanks..

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Not really 1/10 or 1/8, some I'd call it 1/9 scale. No sway bars installed or provisions for sway bars.

[@thortrooper]

@@AussieRCPlayground Thanks for the reply back! Price point here in the US for this is $299.99 which is great! Looking to be getting one! Take care & be safe! 👍👌

[@tonymedina8869]

Random question. If you upgrade the pinion gear do you need to upgrade the spur gear as well?

[@dajaduke1936]

Really like this rc, thanks for the review. Not sure if you answer questions, but I will give it a shot. Is the spur plastic? If yes do you know if you can upgrade it to metal?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Yes, the spur gear is plastic. No, I don't think there any metal ones available at this time. Thank you for your comment and support. 😊

[@uroprop]

What's the button on the controller under the wheel by your thumb

[@Ikonzrc]

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks bro. 🤜🤛

[@artsol8125]

Seems like they did what Arrma did with the Granite and then the Big Rock by making 2 vehicles similar but with a longer and wider stance.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Good call. 👍

Hey guys any ideas if the wheelie bar that fits the older models fits onto the new quantum PLUS??

I was thinking bout preordering this bad boy awesome specs and it looks amazing for the price point. I was wondering bout safe part availability? That’s my only worry bout buying this rc. I’m from U.S. if I can get spare parts for it I’m for sure going to preorder me the one you have with the dark red tires. Can’t wait for the bash session video you do👍😁

[@joshpurser4810]

@@johnnyvestergaard9141 thank you brother👍

[@smiffieplays6086]

I bought one the other day and under the wheel steering on the controller there is a little grey button it’s not mentioned in the instruction manual and no one seems to know what it is. Any thoughts 💭

[@AussieRCPlayground]

It's a 3rd channel button, but it's not connected to anything so it doesn't do anything. Your receiver will have a 3rd channel port that's unused, so if you connected lights or another servo to it (like a wench) you can use the button to turn it on/off.

[@smiffieplays6086]

Ohhh wow I want to put lights on it now maybe police lights lol thanks dude

[@AussieRCPlayground]

No problem. Just remember that in order to turn lights on or off, the lights need to have an LED controller connected to them. Basically, if you just connect some LED lights to the receiver, the switch on the handle won't do anything, the lights need to have an LED controller hooked up. The button on the handle doesn't turn the power on or off, just like your throttle and steering channels it just sends a signal to the receiver. So a LED controller is needed to receive the signal and then that will cut power or change the blink sequence or whatever it's programmed to do. The controller is just a little chip that goes between the receiver and the lights. Some lights will come with it, others you'll need to get the controller separately. Hope that all makes sense.

[@mace2gorc872]

Which company makes this. I really like the look of this truck. I have that same transmitter for my HNR mars monster truck.

Maverick is a subbrand of HPI

Isn't that ESC 4s capable? With a fan on the heatsink for the motor, you could possibly try out 4s for a speedrun or something along those lines.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

ESC is only 100amp, so not 4S capable. And neither is the motor... Sorry.

[@sonorite2665]

@@AussieRCPlayground Nah it's all good! it just seemed like a hobbywing max10 sct. Wouldn't make much sense to put a 4s capable esc in a 3s car from a profitability standpoint. Thanks for the reply! Keep up the awesome content!

How does the maverick compare vs arma's Kraton 4s?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're asking how does a budget 3S car compare against a 4S car worth about 50% more? 🤔

[@teehud313]

@@AussieRCPlayground lol. If I can save a buck, i want to. But if there's a big drop off all the way around, I'll stick with purchasing the Kraton.

[@teehud313]

@@AussieRCPlayground don't judge me! Lol

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Haha, we all want to save some green where possible, so no judgement here. The competition for this car is the Team Magic E5HX, the Granite 4x4 and Big Rock Crew Cab. You can probably include the Hoss as well (based on specs), but the Hoss is double the money here in Australia, so not really a competitor. Both the E5 and the Granite are smaller than the Quantum+ and the E5 is slower. The Big Rock Crew Cab will be about the same size and will be better matched in speed, if not faster than the Quantum+, so it will just come down to parts support and durability between those two. The Quantum+ is $499 and the Big Rock is about $570, so there's not much in it there...
