Maverick Quantum XT Flux on 3S - How did this car survive such punishment? 

Most underrated reviewer. You my friend is a saint to the hobby

03:00 Nailed it - it's not just the grip that leads to wheelies, it's also the weight of the tires, and these are likely much heavier than the stock. I've seen this over and over with tire changes. By the way, Pro-Line is actually much lighter than Duratrax, which I've just had to dump entirely because they are too heavy. 04:00 Nailed it again - with no center diff, it's going to be wheelies all the time. Thanks for communicating these tips to people, maybe create a single video where you go over tuning options when it comes to what tires and center diffs do!!!

Like the new intro! Looks like the little quantum is growing on you!!

Be very interested to see how it compares to the Plus version now!

That just proves it's durability and for price I think it well worth the money great vid as always can't wait for the next one man stay safe

What a strong little basher! Can believe the hits it survived.

Awesome 👍 once it's a little bit warmer over here I go out with mine! Thanks for sharing!

Killer run bro!!! I’ve been pleasantly surprised at what these can handle!! Couple small mods not even upgrades and she’s tough as !!! I’ve broken a front bumper and wing that’s it!👍🏻🤙 I have had to straighten an axle before I replaced the washers behind the wheel pins. Keep up the great vids!!!🤙👍🏻😜

Truely amazing that you managed to come away with no real damage Vas. Maverick have certainly upped their game as far as the plastics go.

Nice new intro, about body pins, grab some small rope and tie them together, I do it with all of my rc cars :)

Trippy new intro vas its a nice change!

It is really tough bro? After destroing a lot of cars Now I own only tekno,short course and monster,but I m looking for a 1/10 tough truggy, the plus version is not avalaible now in italy...I hope for the next months...thanks,you inspired me a lot with your channel in the last years and now too 👍

Vas HPI/Maverick has announced new modified lower arms for all the Quantum trucks. The new arms have more material added to the ends where the hinge pin holes go through the arm. They are also using a different composition of plastic which is said to be stronger, cars produced in future will come with the newer arms & spare arms will also be the newer arms. That's not to say there is probably older stock still in circulation at some places still.

Thank you so much for this video. Very informative. I bought the Quantium+ Flux. Came with a full set of replacement A arms. Very happy with this vehicle.

Vas, you are so real and are so detailed! That is what makes your channel special. Good run and love those tires. They are my go to bash tire for sure. Keep it up man. I wish you could get your hands on an x maxx and beat on it. I know they are expensive but it would be fun to watch you beat on it at the track... keep it up sir and God bless

Sweet triple buddy!!!💯 I’m still working and practicing on my single backflips😁

Ive got the same R/C but probs not as modded as yours. Im at a farm flinging this thing over pig diggings and hill climbing it! Its tough and great

Nice video as always, I am honestly surprised you didn't need a bucket to take it home in after those hits. 🤣 About the tires: as much as I love ProLine Badlands, at the cars pricepoint Louise / Duratrax tires may offer the better deal. Yes they Balloon more than the Proline, but they also grip really good and might be in the more realisitic pricepoint for someonr who has this car.

That hpi is taking some hits. I'm really impressed. Might have to get one of these for a basher.

My go to reviewer as well. 👍👍

On the trip back to the car??? Noooo lol Awesome video Vas!!!

loving everything about this car, seems strong and reliable, in your next vid, can you talk through your jumps as to when your on throttle and on the brake

Best driver and viewer of all the time !!

That thing was flipping out! 🤣 I'm really impressed with the abuse it took 👍

Really like new channel branding. Very slick.

Hoping for a speed week test on this on 2S & 3S..

Thanks for the review. I don’t know how it’s not breaking for you. I’ve had nothing but regular breaks in my flux when running 3s specifically 2 parts of the car have issues in my opinion. Wheel axels, even after replacing to the HD I broke another one when cornering on rough ground. The stock lower A arms break at the slightest single wheel front on knock and should be replaced before even driving the car as when it breaks it also bends the shock so that needs to be either bent back or replaced. Funny thing is I bought another one for my young son and have him on running it on 2s. He has broken an A arm but that’s it. I’m thinking this RC is not a high enough spec to run 3s speeds without stressing the components to the point of breaking. Great RC on 2s after replacing the front A arms but not up to the task on 3s What are you’re thoughts on this?

Wow really nice triple 🚀🚀🚀🚀

This is the truck you buy to take out with 6s rigs. When the 6s eventually breaks something you use this guy to expand 3s packs and realize you have more fun with the little backup truck than your main rig lol.

I’m quite impressed with these mavericks Vas! Worth the money I think. Are all parts available and options for upgrades?

#37👍. That flip was amazing

In my opinion its a good starter rc ive jumped my not as bad but all that i have to do is maintenance

Whos got skilz??? Nice driving man!

Nice bash Vas, i to have been using 1000cst in the shocks. I did try some 850cst first then the 1000cst, i think the sweet spot might be 800cst to 900cst.

Bro there amazing I got my we girl the quantum and put the brushless motor and esc in it and it’s flying now done the oils in the diff I love it Love ur video bro amazing sammy Belfast

Hey Vas. Picked up one of these recently from Metro. Wondering what shock oil you'd recommend now?

Hi, where did you get those wheels? Very nice

That’s a tuff little truck.

atlast the backflip nosedive test...3seconds in..just guessing

☑️ Sent it. Nice bash!

10min in and still going. That’s tough 💪

Nice video and car, only bad a original plastic spur.

Awesome little Car , great video 👍

Some tires you should look into that are somehow more bananas than the badlands are the Duratrax Stakkers. They're only in 1/8 MT but the lugs are stupidly huge and tear into whatever surface they ride on

Pretty curious about the 80a version which is supposed to be upgraded with some HD parts and better electronics. A comparison would be nice! Keep up those Ozzy vibes!

Took a proper beating.

Really cool video. What is the size of the proline??

For the price point it took a beating... I've heard parts are still limited availability. Is that because of HPI or just because of how everything is with covid and manufacturing still?

I love your videos mate

Hi Vas you broke what it appears every one is breaking, I split a lower arm right where the pin goes through after only 5 minutes of run time. Has been out of action for over 3 weeks and parts are still unavailable worldwide which I find disgraceful. I most likely will not buy HPI products again due to no parts backup or service.

Looks like the kraton has met its match

Proline Badlands worth as much as the car 😅 I'm currently hanging in there with slicks now, on my 6s Senton... I'll go without food next week so I can get some new rubber lol

I think a 1/8 6s version is in order

What mods didbyou do? Usually these mavericks arę quite fragile

That things taken hits im not positive my arrma senton 3s blx could take, those nose hits were brutal

Hey should I get the maverick quantum or a used slash???

Hi guys, great video as always. Just bought some Metsafil lower arms, has anybody else bought any? I was wondering what you're thoughts on them were. My first impressions arent good as they weigh an absolute tonne and are extra weak right where the pin goes in, Well made bombroof part but very expensive, heavy and I think will break in exactly the same way as normal stock arms, time will tell lets see.

hi vas .... is this car as cool as it looks in the vid ..... stay safe 👍👍

Do you have the link for the wheel set? Thanks!

What battery did you use?

What type of tires are you using on there? can you send the link?

Is this thing stock? I heard they have garbage plastics

How the heck are you not breaking arms. Mine broke on the first jump 3ft high and we landed it. I've gone through so many sets of arms and shocks in the first two weeks.

Is the 3s too much?

what tyres do you run? i really wanna get a pair

Any recommendations for 3S LiPo batteries for this buggy?

Vas is this still stock rear axles, My sons went off a gutter and they were bent af! We upgraded to the HD versions

Did you change the esc or fan? Online manual says fan won't take 3S voltage, although I hope that's not true! I'm running mine on 2S but would like to give it a go on 3S .

Speed = fun but suicidal

lol jump in reverse maybe they'll bend back,, its still going ,,worth it

no fullon nosedives im sad lol

im rusty...trip backflip

If 1000 cst is still too thick oil what do you recommend? Also, what cst for diff oil?

What happened to the arrma trucks? I still run my savage flux hp😎😎

How is this possible 👀 I broke the wing just going across the grass 1st run & I’ve snapped an arm going up and down an 1 foot high ramp

how c?

looked more then a triple

Cool

You mean, this video??? 😂😂😂 As i spected. Paid...

Hi

Everyone has to see how we have some fun after a hard days work like you, so go check out Grom_Squach channel to you might likely it just as much as you did this one I know I did be safe everyone.

The tyres are half the price of the truck.

Bend 2 bones after 1 run? Oh, no, why do people buy such RCs?

Hi
