I've given my Quantum R some serious abuse... Rolled, Curbed, 2 blown tyres, rolled curbed even more (with the blown tyres) and apart from the plastic spur getting a bit chewed up with gravel getting in there, it taken it! I think I might get one of the these and do a clean speed build on it straight out the box.... see how fast I can get it
Did a run on 6s and think we have messed up bad, lost drive to front and rear drive shaft looks bent as well, not even rolled it. Need to strip it down and have a look. Do like it, just need to find a way to dial out that rear spinning out. For the price though it’s a great car
@@TomleyRC Did tune the diffs with proper oil, back still breaks away real easy, think it needs shocks and geometry sorted as well, just don't think the drive train likes trying to be drifted on 6s 😂😂😂
Think.these cars are so fast almost need a gyro to get that high speed control like the infraction.. I was thinking about buying mega infraction or granite , scratch dent 169$ by time upgrade same price brushless but better components
I do know what you mean, byt Callum hats running with a gyro, prefers to have full control of the car. The crazy thing is in the UK its cheaper to buy the Infraction Mega and put a Max10 SCT system in it than buying the new Infraction Brushless 3s car and that's more expensive then the new 4s cars 😲🤷♂️
Thanks will give that a try, also seen that it comes with the wrong camber that removing some washers sorts out, wish i knew that before we did our 6s run 😎😲😂😂
Oh i don't know, its not that ugly, plus a body can be easily changed, the big question is what is the chassis and drive line etc like, especially for people outside the USA, in the UK this is $346 and the 6s Infraction is $862 that's a hell of a price difference
Hey guys, quick tip on the maverick quantum flux R brushless rc on road drift/race truck and the maverick quantum flux R brushless rc on road my car, they have grease in all 3 diffs, i have both of them and diff oils used - 125000cst pure silicone oil in the front diff/ 20000cst pure silicone oil in the center diff/ 50000cst pure silicone oil in the rear diff making sure that you clean out all of the grease in all diffs and it will drift and handle as a true drift rc car, shock oil 400cps pure silicone oil all round will make a huge difference in performance, tried and tested and it drives insane as it should. Plus a maverick hd spur gear 46t (1m) and a chr mod 1 19t pinion gear makes the maverick quantum flux R an absolute beast. Let me know if you do this and what you think. B'N'CD Australia 👍✌
Thanks for the information - we have taken it out since and run it on 6s 😂 swapped the front diff out to 50k and the rear to 30k - left the centre as stock, still didn't like to drift and the back would just step out. Try to get round to doing your suggestions and seeing how it handles 👍👍
I watched a few vids on this, found it kind of off putting the back breaking away so easily all of the time . I know you should be able to sort that with tuning . But I just felt after my past experiences with Maverick Quantum and Q+ I didn’t fancy another .
The back does break away for to easy and not sure why, first car we have had that does it so easy, diff tune and maybe some geometry tuning as well to sort it out
@@HardcoreRC Yeah , usually I’d go for making the back lighter oils than the front , however with this I’m confused as fook . Would you start with thickening up the rear Oil. In a hope to slow the diff down , Or does the front have too much steering input 🤷♂️🤓🫣 good luck 😂👍
I wouldn't say 400 is budget but I guess if you ate comparing it to the over prices arrma and Traxxas brands then maybe it is. Looks cheesy as hell though
In the UK its deffo budget - this is a 4s Brushless car with center diff for £289 ($346) where as the Brushed Infract 3s Mega is £299 ($358) and the Brushless 3s Infraction is £449 ($538)
They made that car for u boys as itbalready comes in hardcore blue how cool is that and for the price omg that's a steal for sure 47mph is a good starting point too 👊🤙😉👍
@@HardcoreRC does have a slipper or diff in the centre? And surely some thicker diff fluid would help sort that problem out? Also it didn't help that it was soaking wet out at the time lol
@@BIGALSCRAWLERS Has a center diff, think its just the geometry, front and rear diff oils and maybe the sock setup, have seen others run and had same issue.
So I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I'm going to be honest I've subscribed all because of the sound effect you put in the video when you pressed down on the shocks, I died of laughter. Great video.
Thank you for the subscription, Im glad you enjoyed and that we made you laugh with the sound effects 👍👍 if we can make people smile and laugh we are doing our job well
Looks are marmite for sure, some people like it others dont 👍, but its deffo budget in the UK at only £289 vs anything else, even the Brushed Arrma Infraction Mega is more at £309 - curious what you think is a more budget 1/8th scale brushless street basher ?
@@HardcoreRC I can deff say that’s is a budget at that price I could live with it for that price it’s deff unique looking & if I could get it for that price in us I would b happy to add it to my collection btw glade to see u guys stress testing everything it really gives peeps an idea what they will b spending their hard earned $$ on lol
@@beachinrc101 Thanks for watching and yes we do like to stress test the cars, we have fun doing it and as you say helps others know what to look out for
Love this stuff . Boost the maverick. Mine are stock apart from the hd front arms . As you know . There week. . The rest has been awsom and I drive like stempy
@@HardcoreRC I gave up on the stock wheels and tyres. I fitted some 100mm GT tyres. Raised the truck up for clearance an softened the suspension by moving the shock to the inside wholes on the lower wishbones. Still need to add another washer to get more negative camber all round.
@@matb6466 Receiving those cars from Amazon seems a bit hit and miss though, know a few people that have received them others that haven't, box never turned up and in one case the box was empty. Other concern would be if the ESC or Motor fired then dealing with the warranty via Amazon as they are coming in via Europe But if you dont mind the risk its probably worth it

Ludicrous speed!!!😄
We will be waiting for the vid!
Totes jelly, by the time I can get one imported to Canada it will cost $1.6m 🤣
That's so true and so sad Canada needs this car asap
That sucks, is there no one that sell these in Canada ?
These things look hideous. The pickup versions look somewhat decent, but the musclecar ones look absolutely terrible.

Apeing Talbot I see.....get your own Shtick' mate.
How exactly is this apeing Talbot ? but you wont respond as you just like trolling
Hi, what upgrades/tweaks do you receommend for this RC :)
Very good question, what do you plan on doing with it ?
If you want more rear traction add some rear toe-in. Will give more on power traction. Not bad for the price. I do like the body.
Thanks will give that a try, also seen that it comes with the wrong camber that removing some washers sorts out, wish i knew that before we did our 6s run 😎😲😂😂
Am I sending a tiny bit of... Kev attitude going on here... Hmmm.. interesting.. lol
What Kev attitude ?
The uglyst Thing i ever seen...
Then i pay gladly 699...!!!

Is there room to add lights? Great looking car!
Should be room to add lights yes
Went on the HPI website thru the link and the maverick is no where to be found ! ! !
Are you in the USA ? quite a few shops listed in different states, im not in the USA so not 100% sure
Its listed here on the website: www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/150310
Looks like a mustang that got rear ended
Ahhh bless this poor little rear ended Mustang 😂😂
Upgrade it please. For sience
It already has a 6s ESC in it and its been out so your wish will be granted 😂
I like this rc-car, so much power with just 4S! Nice vid... 😎
A nother good video dave
Thanks Chrissy 👍👍👍
Is the spur gear metal?
Spur gear is plastic
Bring on 6s Bubba!
Have run it with 6s and mixed results - need to edit the video and upload
Looks real cheesy
I do know what you mean, but in the flesh it actually looks ok, not the same detail and quality of body as an Arrma though

Good video review bud can’t believe that car is half price may have a look into one thanks for sharing this with us all 🙏🙏
It is crazy that ist half the price, its not as good as the Infraction for sure, but is the Infraction worth twice the price - ummmm

cool vid D
Thanks 👍👍
For the price I think that's pretty damn good value for money especially for those who's budget doesn't allow for an Infraction...
Indeed, when comparing to the Arrma Infractions, its a bargain
First comment!! That thing looks absolutely EPIC 😱😎🤔🤑
Hehe thanks - it is pretty nice 👍👍👍👍
Can't wait to see how you professionals 😆 😅 like it after you get the diffs tunned in.
Yeah think they just come with grease in the front and rear, next run will be 6s :)
Love that body !looks to be worth it , but I always wonder about those off brands and how long it would take to get parts and where ?
Not sure on the parts, something i do need to look into but think part support is good.
No keep the deans connector please
Dean connectors have no place on a 4s or 6s car unless you want them to melt and cause a fire 😂
Cool car, i have nowhere near me flat enough to have these types of rc,😀👍👍
Thanks, i know your pain, we also struggle with where to run speed car, this place is actually 80 miles from where i live
@@HardcoreRC wow really 😀 that's nuts😀👍👍
I have 3 difreent maveric. Love em . Next was this one . A decent review for once
Thanks - Maverick have come a long way since we had the v1 Strada from like 10 years ago - for the price think this is a great little car
You say it looks absolutely stunning!!!!! IMO it looks like you only paid £299 now the infraction looks stunning 😍
Not going to deny the infraction looks good, but does it look £440 better ? as that is the price difference.
You can get the infraction for £561.41 on Amazon atm so yeah another £262.41 is a lot of extra but look what you’re getting

Looks pretty awesome. All it needs is a max8 combo👌 would be perfect for that beast. Looking forward to see how fast you can get it to go.
Does look pretty nice, Max8 you say 😎😎😎
Send it Dave. i might end up getting one after you post a couple more videos of it. HardcoreRC for PM!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.!
Already had it out on 6s 😎😎
Would be interested to see how this compares against the new 3s infraction🤔
Indeed, although we wont be able to do that comparison as wont be getting the 3s Infraction at the UK crazy price
@@HardcoreRC yeah, isnt this like half the price?
9:45 video and it took 6:28 before the RC even started driving. Come on guys. Too much woffling and not enough driving. Even 50/50 would be better.
Thanks for your feedback, try to get a nice blend of unboxing, wrenching and bashing, sometimes it works more bashing other times it doesnt, but do appreciate your feedback 👍👍👍
Nice vid as always 👍 but Arrma 1/7 line is pretty unbeatable...
Agreed, just wish they hadn't put the prices of the 1/7 line up so much in the UK - they are $874 now 😲😲
