Maverick is decent. I've had some in the past. It's HPI's value brand. For the money they're brilliant.
I've run 4-5 packs thru mine out front. Power sliding, hard braking, 360's, jumps, tumbles (over the side, and over the top).....Also hit a full trash can at 2/3 power... I've been Pushing it pretty hard..................Zero issues.
mine arrived today...whoa it's massive...not had an 1/8th scale since Hot Bodies Lightning nitro many years ago. swapped in a bluebird brushless 30kg, 0.05s servo, 4s graphene 65c pack, whole roll of cloth duck tape inside the body (no rattles/wobble now), foam washers under clips (now with retainers like yours), set ESC to 7.4V BEC, dumbo gyro receiver and pressed go. it goes. it really goes. next a bit of shock oil weight tuning. I hear 900cst (about 70 weight) oil is a good starting point. I never take my vehicles out in the wet as it takes ages to clean them properly. maybe I need an airline...
I like this RC car
Love it,so close to getting one,so so close 👍👍👍😀😀
I plan to buy the Eztec Rally Legends Lancia Stratos for my 1st rally rc. They are the original best looking rally rc cars. Took forever to find a site that sells to US. Been trying for years but finally found a German site. I will consider this 1 though. Good review.
HPI seems destined to get my money. Either this one or the WR8 flux with the Subaru Impreza rally body. My cousin brought his WR8 over to my house and I spent the afternoon falling madly in love with it. I think I could learn to love this one as well. $200 cheaper sweetens deal..
What a screamer literally 😝! It looks amazing that’s for sure! I’d say it handles the off road with no issues. I’m a big fan of rally cars, and have to credit Maverick for making on one. I’ve been trying to convince Rlaarlo into doing so. Any way brother, fantastic video! Thank you for sharing ! A very Merrry Christmas to you and yours as well!🙌🏽 🎄🎁😃
Thanks bro!! Merry Christmas have a great time! 😎💯🎅🎄
Got to love a rally car👍
Absolutely love these, I was hoping to get one before Christmas, but sadly finance’s said no. Lol. Green is definitely the best colour.
That body looks pretty killer brotha 🤙🤙🤙
This is brilliant, loved the way it zoomed on the grass, perhaps on smooth, hard compact sand/dirt it will be in it's element. Great review as ever. Have a great Christmas and New Year.
I think it is definitely more suited to sand/dirt rather than the bumpy stuff. Thanks David you too! 😎👍
Nice looking RC for sure, and good turn of speed, thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱
Cheers mate!!
Nice review. I got the Subaru rally from these guys HPI, I love it. I am curious about this one and price point in comparison. Cheers!
I've got the Original quantum rx brushless rally car and I always found that to be a blast to drive so I can imagine this will be great!
For what it is for "rally type driving" the ground clearance seams pretty nice. The more realistic chassis often are pretty low.
It definitely has more ground clearance than I thought....In Person it's impressive.... It's size too is surprising..... It's got to be real close to the Slash Ultimate LCG chassis I'd imagine.
It looks more like a crossover or suv..
@@BASSstarlet yep Cross Yaris or cross Polo or.... 😅
Excellent video🇺🇸thank you can’t wait for more👍
More to come!
@@beyondRC 🇺🇸AWESOME MAN CANT WAIT HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023
Never been a fan of the rc rally cars but this looks pretty cool. Puddle shots were really good, and it looks like it handles the grass well too 👌🏽.
Have a great Christmas with the Family Ricky. All the best for the channel in 2023. Be good to meet up soon for some bashing 😎
Cheers mate much appreciated! Defo meet up in the new year! Have a great christmas 🎄👍
Cool rc and run, great review
I've been waiting for a rally that can drive on grass (yea, that's a pretty low expectation), I'll have to look more into this one for sure.
xv01 and xv02 would like a word
@@buss1205 Thanks, I'll definitely look into it... I think I saw a 1/5th scale, that absolutely rips on grass like a real car, a long time ago and now everything else is a bit underwhelming lol. I'll never get a 1/5th scale so I might need to check my expectations a bit.
Looking forward to a more throrough test on dirt. Maybe go to a 1/8th or 1/10th (maybe more reasonable, for the size of the jumps) scale outdoor buggy track, and see how it does there?
I just got one today 🙂 haven't used it yet but it's looking good from your video have a good Xmas mate
Worth the wait! Have a great xmas!
I like it. definitely going to be getting one of these beasts.nice job mate 👍👍
They are great fun you will enjoy it!!
Looks like a great bit of kit. I feel like it needs some protection for the inside like the dedicated rally car kits. Not sure if maverick do a buggy body for this chassis to fit under the main body to act as a mud guard?
The truth is buggy truck style already flooded in the market. And I really hope other manufacturers start making rally car RC. Because if I'm being honest, I'm not a fan of buggy truck style rc.
I agree. Too many of those already 👍
Tamiya have been making rally cars for decades. Their XV-01 is one of the best rally chassis on the market. HPI came out with a 1/8 scale rally car not too long ago.
@@SnarkyRC but for that 20 years, there's still more buggy truck style than rally car.
I mean there’s trophy trucks?, you can lower the shocks.. slap on roads wheels, with a rally body,
If I’m not wrong losi 5T has a VW bug and a rally body..
I own the bug body for my L5T, and I have no reason to lie to you it feels exactly like a rally car! (:
Yea, the buggy/ truggy market is totally flooded and played out lol. I do like the 1/8th scale buggies tho, they're pretty much the perfect start for a rally car.
Looks based on the Road Flux R, great cars for the price, love the body, although seems to suffer from the rear breaking away to easily as well, think this is due to the camber and there are some shims on the top rear arms you can remover with improves the camber
yeah same chassis I believe Dave just with a spur cover now and a few other bits. Decent car for the money! 😎👍
I wonder if you can swap out parts with the wr8 flux
I’m soooo getting one now
I have an hpi wr8, thia are also little beasts.. .the problem is that rally off road means nothing for an rc car. Yes they andle a little offroad session but a track qith small stones on it , or just irregular offroad and every tipe of grass will eventually block them. They look cool, they surely ca face some difficult terrain better than onroad car , theie chaszis are a littke higher than them, but nothing else. If u want to go purely offroad short course or monster trucks , some buggys or truggys are the way to go
Exactly. Got to admit it looks cool, but performance wise it's not as fun as pure off road or pure on road RC car.
I had Traxxas Rally before but it's very limiting on how and where I can play it.
Great video Ricky! Absolutely love the look & styling! Looks and even sounds fast! 👌 wonder if Santa's got any on-board?
Cheers Chris! You never know 😜😎👍
Nice aggressive look!fast enough also!my only thoughts have to do with the durability as quantum series are not tough at all..
Yeah i agree with all points but unless you are throwing this thing around at skateparks I can see it being quite durable! Cheers 😎👍
@@beyondRC you may be right mate! Merry Christmas!
@@beyondRC It doesn't even need to do skatepark i used the older flux the shitty truck looknig one it was expensive here in hungary about 12000 HUF (28 pounds)cheaper than the traxxas rustler and broke in a few places drivetrain and the arms and parts here are like finding a white crow and i doesn't even absued it the crashes were accidental at max and msotly on grass or dirt road with a very few runs on concrete still broke...
very cool overview... new sub!
Thanks for the sub! welcome
Needs beefier tires and a gear adjustment, should be a beast all terrain
Since Ive watched your channel for at least a year and you cars across a few brands. I wanted to know: what is your current dream rc car? Great vid dude!
Nice 👏
It looks like a good time to run with I would like to buy one for myself
Super Nice, I would like maybe know how fast it can go, or the speed limit? that Will be interasting.. super nice..
Another one ☝🏻 😍
Looks quite nice this car.. I'd love like to se a 1:8 zd racing pirates 3 truggy on your channel.
Just bought a roller and put a 150A esc and 4076 motor in it :)
It's my favorite rc right now.
Arghh I want this, too bad we don't have this brand here
I am very curious how it compares to its WR8 brother.
Do you use the battery that comes in the set
I got mine today.....Had to chase the UPS man down....But I got it! My wife likes it a lot......Pretty Cool......She wanted to drive it in the house! (Pooring Rain outside).
Had to tell her NO, unfortunately....
The house would be destroyed in a few seconds flat!
Thanks
What makes it different and cheaper than the wr8 flux??
i was really surprised when you said it's an HPI, it's clearly another companies car. HPI has almost nothing in that price point with those specs and the body style is very budget looking. with how badly the re-release of the SavageXL was i dont trust HPI to build anything great anymore. i'm honestly surprised they are still around
they are barely still around.. Clinging on. This is a Maverick branded car but maverick is owned by HPI. HPI also own Blackzon which are rebranded HBX models and aimed at the budget market. I think maverick and blackzon are the only thing keeping them alive.
That's a really great looking car, Ricky. Get rid of the ugly transmitter and chuck a DumboRC receiver with a gyro in it. I'm sure it'll make it even better.
Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New year. Looking forward to 2023.😎👍🏻
Exactly Rob a decent Dumbo with gyro would be ideal for this! Have a great Christmas and new year mate! 🎄💯😎
Think i could convert a quantumR truck into a rally? The body is about $50, what else would i need?
I wonder if there is a gyro sensor. I think you must have a gyro to have good straightness on off-road. This is a great video.
no in built gyro but something like a dumbo rc x6f with gyro would work perfeclty
I am curious about the SkyRC GC301 Gyro.
It can use the stock transmitter and just plug in (in line).....In-between the Receiver and the Servo. You can adjust the gain onboard the car..... Of course if you did have a different 3 or more channel transmitter with a dial knob, you can control the gain from the transmitter too.... BUT, just an in option without changing out the Tx and Rx.
Need!
I need a sway bar set for mine. It rolls over way too easy.
how you finding it apart from that?
@@beyondRC it's pretty fun. Might need a little suspension tuning but I've been running mine on high grip surfaces. From your video it seems like it does a lot better on loose or wet ground. I need to take it out tomorrow. It's been a while.
My biggest concern about buying a car like this, is tire availability.
It's a uncommon size and category(1:8 rally, 100x42mm and 17mm hex), so there's really no aftermarket tires that match it 100%.
My best guess is 1:8 buggy tires, but most of them are 110-120mm tall.
The closest I could find, are dBoots Hoons(100/42mm 17mm hex), but they are only good for on-road use.
So the question is: What tire category will fit, without rubbing or sticking out?
Good points.....But 110mm isn't too bad, though.
I was already checking out 1/8 buggy tire/wheel combos.
I wouldn't hesitate to run some 110mm meats.....Especially with the Dirt Biting lugs, AND the increase in ground clearance the 1/8 buggy tires would provide!
Put it on a carpet off-road track
i have a new ish hpi baja for swops
Why cant i find this available anywhere? Are they already discontinued?
Whats your location? I am in the UK and plenty everywhere.
@@beyondRC ah. Maybe because I'm in the US...
How do you see the speed? From an app?
sky rc GPS
@@beyondRC thank you
I'm waiting for Santa Claus
I would prefer licensed body like toyota or fiesta. That bothers me with this car.
Will you be able to drive it at a playground?
Don’t see why not?
Speed = 46 kph?
mph that's the units we use in the UK :)
@@beyondRC lol, I was thinking they can't be saying it's speed is 46mph, it must be kph!
1/8? In your dreams. Its 1/10
nope definitely 1/8! ;)
I have sent if you can and want to help with one monster truck for me and my kid ofcorse one 6s-8s waterproof
hmm yeah send me your address ill send you my best 6-8s truck... Yeah no im not a charity dude.. Work hard and enjoy the hobby dont ask for hand outs! I have had to work hard to get where I am! If its not within your means its not the right hobby unfortunately!
looks like quite bad suspension on the dirt. It is way to small and stiff..... no good, I prefeer my buggy 1:8
chassis looks good for a slash 4x4 clone (shame hpi). The body is the ugliest thing of seen sine the Pontiac Aztek....or maybe the Arrma vendatta. Seems like a pretty solid platform. I need HPI to step up.....AND STOP BEING LAZY TRYIN TO RE-SALE THE FRIKKIN SAVAGE XL!!!! ITS BEEN TOO LONG...INNOVATE!
its a completely different chassis dude. Its not a 4x4 clone at all lol. I agree they need to innovate
"cheap"
Why do you always point out “I don’t do skatepark stuff on my channel”.
Sounds a bit snarky like you’re jabbing at other channels that do. 🤷🏼♂️
That kinda stuff makes it less fun. Just do what ya want. No need to explain it every time :)
Dont care if I am haha! I have made it publicly known I am against skate park videos as I find a lot of channels do it to get views and have the disposable income to smash cars to bits. I'm free to speak my mind (my channel) and testing RC cars at skateparks is not a good indicator as to how good an RC car is.. any RC car hitting concrete after a huge jump will break. I have seen brand reputation in pieces after some videos on here which is unfair. 9/10 people never run at skateparks. Finally I have young kids and teaching them to respect their toys is what I am about.. I certainly would not tolerate my son smashing up an RC car I saved up for to buy him for his birthday with so little respect. Hey we are all different. .. If those channels feel hated on they can contact me and I will repeat all of the above. youtube is about being your own person not following the crowd. End of
@@beyondRC that’s an awfully defensive reply to a loyal subscriber’s feedback. And don’t even respond to other comments and questions.
You’re right, though! Free to do what ya want. As I’ll feel free to unsubscribe. You’d be a happier person without so much bitterness towards others.
@@thejeepinrealtor5742 haha fine with me.. I’m speaking the truth and not here to follow the crowd. If people don’t agree with me then like you can unsub and move on.. all part of the game of TH-cam 😏 some people find the truth hurts mate..not bitter towards others just entitled to speak my own mind and opinion..
@@beyondRC the truth isn’t offensive - your snarky attitude is. I didn’t say anything offensive. Didn’t realize if you knew that’s how it came across.
Do your thing. Always enjoyed your channel until these immature comments. See you totally different now. Feel free to skip the sarcastic reply.
You talked me into it!! 👍👍🦾🦾
😎👍
A gravel road is not offroad.....still a road.
Anything that’s not tarmac I would consider off road. Roads are generally made of tarmac 👍😁
It’s Little 😊lolol.it looks sick
Question man so how big is this awesome car I know it’s 1/8 scale. I know the body looks wide, but rally bodies are like that. It doesn’t look insanely big too me.
It's actually Bigger than you think. (than it looks in the videos)
@@natestapp5573 how awesome is it it’s Hard to find
@@ironj100 I'm not sure where you're from but I'm from California and I ordered it from HRP out of Salt Lake City, Utah
They have them in stock in both colors.
