Watching this makes me feel like my time on KZfaq is done and my presence no longer needed. How you manage to unbox, do a tare-down, 2 run videos and upgrade a truck in under 15min is mind blowing to me. Not to mention do a mini review at the end. It's just... how?? I'm supposed to be getting this truck as well and installing a bunch of upgrades on it, but I honestly don't think it's worth my time when you put out content like this. And you haven't even cracked 20k subs yet, which is absolutely insane!! I've got 3 times the subs, get half the views you get and 1/3 the comments. Well done man!! Really, well done. You've taken RC content to a whole new level and I can't keep up with this. In fact, I don't know too many others that can either. Bravo, sir. 👏

I love this style of video man. Not many people have a thorough breakdown like you do. It really shows the build quality and finer details between different vehicles. Keep it up dude.

2:19 sliding adjustable motor mount is great for race-ready pro kits. But for beginners, it's better to be safe and not allow them to overgear. I vote for preset mesh cos I don't really care about racing and finding that sweet balance spot between acceleration and top speed vs max temperatures. Thanks for the reviews. An in-depth review helps to choose wisely A LOT.

Opening a receiver and a servo to check for o-rings and conformal coating??! Where have you been all my life???? 😍😍😍😍😍 😂😂😂 I get 85% of my RC enjoyment from wrenching so this level of rig-gutting and exploring is really my cup of tea! Keep it coming! 🙏 Have seen some good reviews on this Quantum and strong opinions stating how much it's a good option considering price/quality. I haven't added a basher to my collection yet, but I'll go with something like this when I do. Cheers!

I have a couple of mavericks rc’s and they have been very durable so far. Fast enough to keep me smiling and fun enough for some bashing. Great video

The goat 👍. “Let’s throw a 4s esc in and see what it can take “ nice 👏

Looks like a good beginner option. But at $275 (on Amain) I would probably spend $325 for the Vorteks. If you stick to 3S the Vorteks is way faster, has better aftermarket support, and judging solely by your footage handles significantly better. But having said all that...I would not be disappointed to add the Maverick to my stable.

It looks awesome and the design tickles my brain, just like the Kagama! Looks to be a solid choice. It would be nice to see a center diff, considering it probably wouldn’t cost too much more. You know what would be an interesting video? A video/summary of all the RCs you end up keeping after reviewing and playing around with them. It would show which RCs really hold up over time… maybe an update video on every RC you kept from 2023 and how it’s doing?

The old original Quantum would have broken a dozen times over, I have the original Quantum & this new Quantum2. Night & day difference between the 2 versions. Quantum2 is great value for the money & pretty durable, HPI/Maverick has done a good job with this new truck. Even the radio is a nice uprade over the old alien looking radio lol.

Great break down and review on this truck. Thanks👍

We have the MT Monster Truck, and we agree that this is an awesome car, on pair with Rustler and Vorteks but a much lower price. It does surprise us that you doesn't mention the great stock servo - it's the best servo we have seen in a RTR car 👍

Slipper clutches on big wheeled 1 /10 vehicles are becoming a thing of the past the amount of power being thrown into these new vehicles is increasing with every new release

Nice showcase of this rc!

Nice looking truck, love how you mentioned the hardware because that is a huge deal when working on RC’s. Looks like a lot of fun!! Looks pretty tough too!! Again another great video!!! Price seems great also. Stay awesome 🤘🏻

I like how much you go into on showing us everything in these vehicles

Great quality video as always!

Love your vids! Thanks for covering this rc

Love the deep dives you do in reviews. You pointed this but when it comes to bashers, there are things that were perceived as negatives I actually prefer for ease of maintenance and/or longevity. In other words, I think some of the negatives are really, really small. Grease in the diff. Okay so it was a sealed diff so they probably should have put fluid but so long as the diff grease is thick (one can always pack in more thicken it up even more) and the feeling isn't wide open & free? It's fine. You'll never have a leaky diff with grease. ;) Also I really prefer plastic links. They flex and are tougher than adjustable links IMO. If nothing else, they're by far cheaper to replace than a high dollar metal link. Unless someone is competitive racing where they're altering toe, camber, etc, 99% of bashers don't need adjustable links for bashing. Many wouldn't notice the difference anyways, between a degree or two. They're just looking for "can it survive big jumps when I send it."

Always enjoy how thorough your reviews are but still to the point. And running footage is good. I rarely consider an overseas product but with HPI pedigree and support through Amain, this makes a compelling argument 👍

I hope they make a xt+. Centre diff and all HD hardware. I have the original xt+ and with a bit of tuning and slight upgrades, it's actually a very fun truggy. And hopefully they have learnt from the past. I guess time will tell. Good review.

Great videos as always, thank u! Would love to see a comparison between this and the MT version.

Been really tempted by one of these! Would love to see you gear it up and see what the stock electrics can actually do though? Glad to see the reciver box could be removed for a longer motor too!

Only RC channel I need. Awesome video like always

I enjoyed the MT version so I'll be ordering this !

good review..i have the MT and it is a great value for the 💰

I love the way you talk Brother your voice is awesome.why you’re not extremely famous is beyond me

There's a couple of things coming out that I think might be a tick better at the price point shortly. I'm going to hold off.

On small head countersunk screws like that, you end up with a tiny hex driver size. Something like 1.5mm Hex which can be too small and snap driver tips.

Diff looks to be very similar to the redcat shredder diffs. That's pretty good size wise for a truck that small.

you hit the ball out of the park again. Or you pulled the trigger out of the BMX track again. either way... nice video. and very well done by your CEO, Chief of Operation and videographer. lol. I didnt see or didnt look hard enough but have you done a video on the typhon grom? Duperbash just did one at a skatepark and looks awesome, upgrades and seem to be a good car. have fun.

great video I was between this one and the Hyper go 10208 but I already bought the Hyper go I'm still waiting for it

Looks like a decent car but ask yourself this question. The Rustler and Vorteks have much more option parts and upgrades plus part supply is better. And to be fair your now getting the heavy duty kit for the same price as the older one. So is it really worth it? Great video as always man!

I love my vorteks 3s, just like all arrmas its a great running car and easy to work on and upgrade, this car looks like a great car on its own merit but the vorteks is a better option in my opinion.

Great video Nice RC car definitely better than the 2 Wheel Drive rustler Definitely gonna get me one

Phillips self tapping screw's is a huge deal breaker for me. I won't deal with that.

Those are some large outdrive cups for this size 👍.

Great channel man. I have the original "upgraded" XT Flux and really like it a lot. I haven't any problems at all, although I'm not bashing extremely hard. I haven't seen this one in person yet, but it appears to be very similar, minus only a few things. Have you used the upgraded V1 at all?

hey, it's the Ultimate Rustler. And for reasons unknown, I paid $519 for it.

Those are the same shocks style from the 1st version. Heavier shock oil and they are fine. Definitely better after tune.

Good positive review. I just put an order in for one at Modelsport uk.

Looks good (prefer the black wheels) get a lot for your money.. But the handling seemed off, though in saying that it's easy to misjudge how demanding terrain is without being there. Wouldnt mind getting my hands on one! But I suspect my preference would be my very mildly modded Vorteks BLX.

Not sure id replace my rustler with this , i get it , that Traxxas are expensive. But they are quality . IMO. I just bought the MT. Maverick 2 ,i think its ok but i wouldnt put it on the same level as my rustler or my Vorteks . In fact may be sentimental but i like my rustler over over the vorteks 😊

I really wish traxxas would do two things with the vxls. 1) give ALL of them the 2400kv motor and 2) give all of them the 6780 and discontinue 6780A. I refuse to believe they couldn’t because they did that with the hoss/stampede 4x4 with the exception of the 6780A diff, which the only difference is the 6781 diff casing. Their 4x4 3s models would be far more compelling if they did so. I love my second hand slash ultimate and rustler 4x4, but I can’t in good conscience recommend either new out of the box. I usually say go for the stampede and if you end up hating HCG like I do, a rustler chassis swap is easier and far cheaper than starting with a rustler and upgrading the motor, center diff and tires. Oh, and if you’re a slash diehard, just look for a used one.

I want one immediately

For me the biggest con is the slipper. I need me a center diff, and I haven’t heard good things about the quantum+ model

Just not a fan of slipper clutches. If it had a center diff I wouldn’t even have to think about it

Has a good look 👌

I used to have the previous version which was the most unreliable car I've ever touched, but it was more powerful and MUCH better handling than these new gen ones. Those seem to be sluggish on 3s and they handle like bricks. Also the MT version looks like a generic kid's toy. At least this one looks cool.

yes these look really good!

You shouldn't be allowed to do the very first review video on a new truck, no one will be able to compete. The best and most through overview, running, disassembly, mod and review in 15min 😂

EXCELLENT REVIEW.!! 👍 👍 👍

£180 for the brushed version in the UK... That's the way I'll be going.! 😉

How do you know it's half priced compared to the rustler???? I can't find any shops that sells it

Considering all the vorteks are on back order a new version is likely on its way.

Awesome

I think it’s £250 hear but if I pick one up I’ll clean and fill the diff and buy the steal spur gear

Where we gonna buy these ? I want it - I got the truck

What's the easiest way to tighten the slipper? Mine seems to be too lose out of the box and constantly kicks in now whilst on 3S. I've tried to get the back end off in the same way as you can with the Quantum 1 but it's not playing ball... I don't want to pry the shaft out of the cup too hard in case I need to do it in a different way. Thanks in advance!

It cool man

I bought one earlier model of this brand. It was total junk. Even with upgrades. NEVER again.

Unfortunately from factory, grub screws come loose and strip drive train components for a lot of reviewers. Also front half of vehicle on this one is only held on by two screws on bottom of chassis which under bashing and stress would break right off. I think Omni terminator for price although not true 1/10 size is better built…. We’ll see how it works out for ya….

I must say you are great at fixing and upgrading but - bad driver lol

I feel horrible spending 500$ on my vorteks😂

i hope they are going to brink parts to the netherlands we dont have that for maverick besides the ion line and atom

All metal Drivetrain meaning metal outer driveshafts? Traxxas is all metal up to the driveshafts. And those maxx duty shafts are arguably more durable than metal. Mine have taken 4s abuse and don’t show the same wear dogbones do.

Grease in the diffs and a plastic spur gear??? I don’t understand.

Not a chance this os better than either the traxxas or arrma.

It’s just a rebadged JLB cheetah

esc is just general look for cheap Chinese rc 😂

I just wanna hawk tua on that thang. It's marvelous and i want one. Will order one but i think i will go with the truck version.
