Thank you kindly! 😎

Nice to see Maverick stepping it up lately, the 1/8 RX Flux Rally car is excellent value and now they make a durable 1/10 MT too.

I feel a comparison video with this and the Team Associated MT10 coming on 👍

[@mark-1rc502]

I was wondering that , it seems pretty sturdy, the Price will be tje deciding Factor . Ive a feeling the MT-10 looks a bit more Powerful. If this comes in at aroujd £200. Uk pounds its a bargain . /£250 may be but . any more and no i would rather take the mT-10 .

[@peteralbury7724]

You must have been reading my mind

[@101projects2]

@@mark-1rc502 think I saw on another review that the brushed version will be just under £200 and the brushless will be £250, that seems a fair price and is a good chunk cheaper than the Mt10 at around £330, but I have a feeling the Mt10 probably just has the edge on the maverick and arguably it should as it's more expensive but at £80 cheaper I'd be happy to own the second best basher to the king of 10th scale bashers, either way it'll be a close call IMO

[@mark-1rc502]

Your videos Vas on this truck has directly sold me on picking one up! Great advertising for HPI/Maverick 👌🏼

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Chris. It's definitely impressed me, especially when compared to the previous version.

[@ReadySetRC]

I thought the 2S bash was amazing, this one just blew my mind how durable this truck is. Loved both videos! This is on the short list.

[@cwatson42785]

I know right! Plus the price seems like a no brainer. Wonder how it will stack up against the helion/rival mt10 and the redcat trmt10 which both are great options as well. I'm gonna grab one and try it out. Just wish it had a center diff. Hope its an upgrade option maybe 🤞🏼

[@ReadySetRC]

@@cwatson42785 Hey Chris, I don't mind the slipper on this. It's smaller and lighter. My struggle is brushed or brushless. I like that blue one but only comes in brushed. I have tons of ESC's and motors in the parts bin. Plus I can get the center brace online and I was planning on swapping out the wheel hexes to 12mm so the plastic ones on the brushed is no loss. Waiting everyday for this to drop on HRP😊

[@TranceFur]

That front flip recovery was sick 🤩

[@kaosr.c]

That took some good hits and it came back for more ! Tough little truck for sure ! Cant wait til they land here

[@B2Humla]

Impressive durability 👍

[@liamchilver1691]

When I baught the v1 quantum xt a few years ago I was immediately disappointed by not only the terrible suspension setup, but I also bent an axle on the first run after lightly clipping a curb. I sold it shortly after fixing it. This thing however looks like they've done their homework and turned it into a genuinely great basher. I'm tempted once again to get one. Well done hpi/maverick!

[@kosmokat111]

I really like the look of the body tbh, a nice tall classic monster truck style.

[@steveblackbird5174]

Got some pep on 3s Vas. Gotta say, all that bashing and nothing broke is pretty epic. This is one great basher for those starting out and seasoned RC'ers. Takes some serious punishment. You beat that pretty hard TBH I was expecting it to come back in pieces...Impressed!! Nice driving as always...lot to be said for flexible plastic lol.

[@cds1223]

Ok. Im a faithful Avenge/Rival fan/owner. But this thing really just made me doubt. The front skid plate portion of chassis may have busted on those huge flat landings with the MT10…this thing is unbelievable.

[@doubledome2076]

Phil said ( Tomley RC )... watch Vas drive and jump the flux.. so I did.. Love that truck!- it took a beating and cane back for more! Great video! - worth the like and new subscriber from the usa 🇺🇸 ‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘

[@rickhenson-ct7bc]

So much better, I got the maverick quantum Plus flux as my first truck, now I will have to get the new one, can't wait 😂

[@richardulrich9001]

Im so torn between this, the Granite, MT10, or Omni Terminator. Not sure which to get. These videos help, though.

[@richardulrich9001]

Really this thing seems almost perfect for me. How do you feel about the slipper clutch? Is it much of a step down from the MT10's center differential? Thats the only real negative I can think of. Is it a big negative? Or no big deal?

[@jayfarthing]

That thing looks leaps and bounds better than the older version. I've got a Quantum Flux 80A Truggy, and it's great fun to drive when working, but the drivetrain gets broken so easily, particularly with how much intertia the wheels end up having if you land even remotely on power. All of the axles on mine are slightly bent from heavier landings, so the wheels wobble like crazy - that doesn't look to be happening at all for you. The fact it appears to be a little nose heavy is annoying, but perhaps that's suspension setup? Are the rear springs strong enough that it's flicking the back up relative to the front on leaving a jump? Might have to consider one of these when they become available over here in the UK.

[@christofferbrandel6491]

If you had to chose between this car, the Big Rock 3s and the MT10. Which one would you chose? If they are the same price, or very close.

[@alanshearing7515]

Yep , can see what you meant. A tough nut probably due to its lighter weight and as you noted softer plastics. Is it a bit nose heavy? . Or was that just the jumps kicking?. In any case a great run video Vas 👍. We will see what your tweaks will do to the handling, looking forward to the next run .

[@excdave2324]

Can you help and advise standard out the box or recommended shock oil weight for Hobao MT Sport Plus. Thanks in advance

[@richchase1381]

What are the diffs like on this I just orderd it do they last long I won’t be bashing as hard as this and it will be on 3s will I be good with this ??

[@bentravis99]

@@AussieRCPlayground thank you!

[@bernardrc1137]

Rival MT10 contender, bro, you should do MT10 vs quantum 2, seeing how you have one, just give me a mention for the idea, 🤪🤪😁☺️😉👍

[@Solrak8O]

Very impressed with what i'm seeing from the Quantum 2. Durabiltity seems top notch. The added flexibity of the new plastics (absorbing impact) in the front arms and steering links could be part of the secret source to its tough bashing prowess at the expenese of steering control? I would be interested in seeing if the old Quantum arms and these arms are interchangable to see if steering improves/durabilty falls off? I think my next 1/10 MT is going to be between the Quantum 2 or the new Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator. Are you getting the Omni-Terminator in for review Vas?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Yes, Omni Terminator is inbound as we speak, so it'll be here in a couple of weeks, I think.

[@Solrak8O]

Awesome. Can't wait for the review!

[@Solrak8O]

Hopefully Vas you can get a hold of the new WOV Racing 1/9 Blitzkrieg and do a shootout between the Quantum 2, Omni Terminator and Blitzkrieg! The Blitzkrieg looks like an interesting design under the shell.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

@@Solrak8O I have the Omni Terminator on the way, but I don't think that WOV Blitz thing will be available in Australia. I do remember seeing a video from Tomley about months ago and it did look pretty good, but I've never heard of that brand and I don't know what the support will be like over here. If I can get one, then I might, but if it's costs too much to ship, I'll have to pass.

[@Solrak8O]

@AussieRCPlayground I just saw a review from DO RC and he rates it quite highly and looks to be very durable. Possibly a match for the Quantum 2?? Hobby station in NZ seem to stock the Blitzkrieg under the Mustang name. Looks to be around $740 AUD inc delivery. Anyway, would love to see it backflipping high in Altona park dodging the "Sarlaac Pit" as I like to call that big water drain thing there. Really looking forward to your Omni Terminator review, should be good!

[@richchase1381]

Did u have any issues with ur differential like the other KZbinr did n here ???

[@bashemrc6871]

Seems like a decent little truck took some hard hits and kept it movin a better set of tires would probably help the air control a lot 🤘

[@khairulmuizrahim8418]

Wondering how this compare to the new rlaarlo neo terminator, hope to see the comparison soon 😃

[@Luke-en2tk]

Spares should be readily available for this, Rlaarlo don't seem interested in having any sort of distribution hopefully that changes

[@collinkamp1153]

What is the replacement parts assessability since they are so new

[@jasonearle8326]

Ty for the bashing video...i own a few different Savages and i am wanting a new toy!..you helped me decide! Cheers mate! Any Carpet Pythons around and about?😊

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks. No snakes around here, but pythons aren't really native in these areas, that's more up north of the country. We're more likely to come across tiger, red belly and eastern brown snakes in these parts. I've seen a couple near my house (cause I live in bushland), but they're not usually found around parks with short grass. Thankfully. 😁

[@richchase1381]

And if u replace the diffs were do u get them from ??

[@user-fe6lh6me1c]

What lipo c rating did you run it on?

[@gillian9178]

The old Quantum would have broken 10 times over, great job HPI / Maverick.

[@rickhenson-ct7bc]

I've had mine for almost a couple years now and keep fixing it, I have a lot of fun with it, it's kind of epic when it breaks though you got to laugh this is $10 here and there

[@DRIFTSUN]

do you know when these will be released in Australia? interested in price too.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Don't know yet, but I'll try and find out soon.

[@boduke9428]

Looks like another great little truck. Not sure what anyone wouldn't like. I'm wondering how the Rlaarlo Omni Terminator will compare. The Rlaarlo definitely wins the coolest name contest so far. Any idea when the Rlaarlo will be available?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Cheers. I should have mine some time in February, so you'll see it soon enough and I'll do a comparison to this and any other MTs is have in my fleet. 😎

[@BASSstarlet]

2:30 what happened there?Loss of power?

[@EXTREMERC416]

It needs a bigger pinion. Im interested to sell my kraton 4s to maybe replace it by this. I have 6s trucks and having just a lower price flat pan chassis with electronics tunring into an oven on 4s and add the extra cost of 4s bateries for only one car. Only problem is hpi part support in canada

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Had a friend that joked HPI stood for high price insult. The Q2 just seems to love whatevers dished out. I'd guess the 3 cell makes the tyres balloon, so you lose that 2S grip. Probably the only sticking point with the car, like all RTRs the tyres are the compromise.

[@rcjoe406]

Seems like active power sports in the us is the only seller weird 🤔

[@AsraiForns]

activepowersports are to be avoided. There is no stock in the USA of the Quantum2. HPI confirmed that Quantum2's will be from the 2nd batch for the USA.

[@daig1984]

Different set of wheels, seems it’s 14mm try some granite wheels

[@mark-1rc502]

The first batch of the Small Maverick quantum it was a bit flakey but they came out with the HD arms. And weren’t too bad. And put some washer’s behind the wheel hex. What was the Biggest pile of Poo. Was the Biggger quantum Xl that would break so quick as to look at it . This looks like it takes a good smashing . Impressive .
