I love my small, mini and micro scale RCs and at ONLY $99aud I had to see what this little Maverick Atom 1/18 brushed Monster truck was all about😃
This would make a great first car for younger kids into the wonderful, healthy and highly entertaining world of RC!

It's brilliant for the money

@rccrazy 22 дня назад

100% they are down to about $70aud from some online stores now, perfect for youngsters but fun to upgrade aswell, many upgrades available for them👌

Another great review mate perfect starter for a young kid new to the hobby. So glad they put a wheelie bar on it for the stock setup 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂 Looking forward to seeing what you do with it let’s see that wheelie bar put to use 😉😁😆 Hope 2024 is a good one for you mate let’s hope the channel growth is insane this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻😎

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

Maybe they thought a wheelie bar was necessary for if kids quickly learn how to do roll back wheels🤔🤣 Yeah thanks Michael! It is a fun little truck, if I enjoy it I'm sure many youngsters will love it👌 Probably need a bit of modding before installing a brushless kit though😅 And you too, hope you have a great year! Thanks so much for the continuous support mate😊🙏

@PERTHWESTOZRC 6 месяцев назад

I went brushless on mine pretty much immediately after i done my review on the rlaarlo version over a year ago, it made it heaps more fun to bash! Happy New Year man 🎉🍻👍

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

Yeah man it should be interesting with a little brushless combo, hope mine lasts a little while before the first fail😅 Happy new year man👊

Great little beginner basher!! Great video!! Happy New Year to you and Dad🎉‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

Definitely and almost cheap enough for some kids to buy themselves with their pocket money👌 Actually is that even a thing anymore😆 Thanks heaps Dome! And back at you, all the best for another year😁

@oddsparrow8522 Месяц назад

If you ask me the car is for young new driver. That means that the remote control should be small

@rccrazy Месяц назад

That's exactly what I stated in the video, doesn't mean you can't make it for experienced drivers, it's a fun and very capable little basher with a 3s esc 3s lipo and stock motor😯

@antoniobove9827 6 месяцев назад

I cant see you keeping it brushed for long😂😂👍

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

If only I could control myself🤣 Well that's if the drivetrain, more specifically the diffs can actually handle it😵🤭

@johnbliss392 23 дня назад

You can get a 35amp 2in1 ESC from Banggood

@rccrazy 23 дня назад

Yes but you also need the matching controller for whatever brand 2in1 you actually buy. I'd much rather use reliable hobby grade electronics which means I can use a controller I already have like my Spektrum DX4c or one of my dumborc system.

@timallen6035 6 месяцев назад

Good video. It definitely looks like a good starter rig for kids. Not too fast, and with the controller being on the smaller side.

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely spot on as always Tim👌 Got to start somewhere😁 Happy 2024 mate, hope you have a GREAT year🤝

@angesrcs 6 месяцев назад

Wow. Great entry leave car for sure. Super tough. Perfect for the younger crowd. But I’m sure it will get that motor upgrade, 🫢since it already has the metal diffs. That’s a bonus!. 👍🏼🚗

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

Yeah man great for kids essentially being only 99bucks👌 But yep you know me, gotta make it faster😆 Hope your having fun over there man👊

Gday Saul, Hope you had a great Christmas and NewYears mate... We had a blast in Fremantle, Some real feral's come out to play and it was entertaining to say the least from our hotel balcony.. I agree with ya on this one, for 95 bucks its ideal for a youngen to see if they are interested in the hobby, its spot on in that budget line ! - Hoping to see more out of HPI/Maverick in the near future for sure! Great battery life and its pretty stable ay! For the kids getting into it at that price its a steal Once you Frankenstein it I can't wait to see it run! Great video bud...Take care my friend!! 👍

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

Oh I could imagine Fremantle would've been entertaining😆 Yeah you too mate, hope you had a good Christmas and sound like a good New year! This is absolutely perfect for exactly that, to see if a youngsters would be interested in RCs, its relatively easy to strip down and replace or mod parts also so great for teaching them about RC tinkering if they enjoy them👌 So behind with my videos but yes modding and upgrading this one is on the list😉

@johnbliss392 23 дня назад

0.5Mod pinion fits best.

@rccrazy 23 дня назад

Only mod0.5 works as the spur is mod0.5

@dominicchesterman2107 6 месяцев назад

Them shocks are £29 in the UK! That's half the price again on the Truck again, I'll stick with my Q901.

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

No one told you to get one of these mate😅

@stephenwatkins3175 15 дней назад

My sons car seems to eat spur gears. Any suggestions please on upgrading this to a metal gear if possible

@rccrazy 15 дней назад

I'm assuming your using the correct pinion gear, I mean there are only a few things that could cause that over and over, wrong pinion size or pitch, loose motor or stuff getting stuck in the wheels or drivetrain.

@rogueFactor 6 месяцев назад

if it's more available to us than the Granite GROM, then it's already a chicken dinner winner.

@rccrazy 6 месяцев назад

It really depends on use and future plans as the grom is MUCH stronger in general so perfect for more power and bigger faster bashing. I don't recommend this one if you want more power, diffs won't last long I can already tell.

@rogueFactor 6 месяцев назад

@@rccrazy that sounds on par. plus the GROM in general just... looks tougher. 🙄 i can't believe I just said that. my LHS sucks..they ordered two. lol

Yes because it's a cheap beginners car! But it's full proportional and many upgrades available for it so your actually kind of wrong at the same time, sorry🤷
