I like HPI. It was my first proper buggy many many years back. Bought an entry level one but with the constant breakages it was not cheap for too long. It drove beautifully and I still like it but I spent a lot of time wrenching it and they cost more in parts to run than the later higher end HPI cars I bought. Learnt that lesson and now just saved up for the higher end models to start. Love this channel. After discovering your channel last year, I had already bought 3 cars thanks to your reviews.
For "cheap entry level" we have models like 1/16 hosim or absima...here we have two jumps and parts are breaking 🤷♂️ i was think about maverick quantum plus but now i dont know
@@CptAngelKGaming for a "cheap entry level". It cost 350$ in Poland. It's not "cheap entry level" here. And its not 1/8 size is compareable to my senton 4x4 3s which is 1/10 lol
When I was learning to drive RC's, the damage I was doing to bodies negated the Shoegoo fix, it was just too expensive. I went with a rubber, water proof tape, it worked that well that I still use it. $25 - $30 for a roll and that's just enough to line the inside of a 1/10 Body.
That little hpi took a serious beating if you look at this footage and last video he did, you'll see he wasn't very nice to it last time lol. I don't care what anyone says. You can tell it's really well built for the price. Good stuff
Yeah I noticed all I gotta do is drive it like I didn't get it for free and it'll last for a while. These guys are brutal. Kinda testing we need to see.
Hey Vas, you should take your Hyper TT out for a run, or maybe a torture test. A comparison between the quantum and the hyper TT would be cool too. Keep up the good work!
NICE! Looks like a decent model. I wish I had a spot to bash like that. Looks like fun. I have grass parks all over - not bad but this spot looks fun. That break was narly but understandable! Fun still!
Bought 3 rcs from your reviews on them and they are awesome. Could you do one on the little known FTX DR8 Desert buggy, aka REELY RAPTOR aka FS ATOM 6S. Looks like the TT Bushmaster Hope to see it THANKS
Where can you buy parts online ? My 8 year old took her Quantum out for her first run today and hit a fence post and smaller the ball from the suspension arm front right side.
I’m sure I commented here😱 lol, so what’s your opinion here? Apart from the big air breakages which are unavoidable even with more expensive models..... is it with the money or would people be better off spending more for a granite?
Nice vid! I am considering getting one of these trucks. However, I have read many complaints that they break easily. Can you give me your opinion regarding the overall durability of the Quantum+?
Did you even watch the video It broke twice dude The second break didn't hardly do anything and it broke. So he don't need to tell you how good they are The video shows it.😊
Would you recommend this instead of the smaller Quantum XT Flux? I can buy the + version for 150% of the smaller one's price. Is it worth it? I don't want to spend more than these and I think from the reviews they have great value for the price.
Vas i have heard from a few that say the tie rods on the Quantum's are not strong enough & bend or break pretty easy. Re the arms HPI/Maverick have announced new stronger A arms that have been beefed up around the hinge pin area + a stronger & different compound of plastic. There are also now aftermarket A arms cnc machined from solid Delrin a tough engineering plastic, they are made in Portugal by Metsafil. A bit on the expensive side, but if they don't break as easy they are another option. Check out the Metsafil arms on Ebay.com, just put in Metsafil MT150122 Quantum suspension arms. The clear bodies my well be Lexan as the clear bodies are more expensive than the painted/printed bodies. Great vid, well as long as it lasted that is. Stay safe.
@@markymark9407 The part number for the new arms will be the same number as the old arms, i understand HPI/Maverick will no longer be sending out the old arms. But don't know when the new arms will be available from, probably be some of the old type arms around in circulation. you will clearly see if they are the new strengthened arms when you get them, by the extra material around the hinge area. I would say if someone sends out the old arms then to send them back & wait for the new arms.
@@gillian9178 Hi, thanks for the reply, I will inform my Hobby shop owner and get him to ask for the new version . And if hpi have any sense they will melt down any remaining old arms and use the recycled plastic to make body posts 😂
@@markymark9407 Looking at the close up picture around 4m - 30s in this video the hinge end of the arm that split does appear to be the old type A arm. The new arms where the hinge pin hole is drilled should be a cam or egg shape at that end of the arm around the hole. Remains to be seen if they send out the new Quantum Plus trucks with old type A arms, they may well do as the newer stronger arms may not have been produced in time before the Quantum Plus trucks were released & sent out to suppliers. Just hope there is going to be plenty of the new type arms available as there is going to be a lot wanting the arms to fit onto the new Quantum Plus trucks when buyers get them. There's probably going to be even bigger demand from those that already have the normal shorter wheelbase Quantum.
@@gillian9178 I have 2 of the first “smaller fluxes” I’m still waiting for replacement drive shafts for one after the servo horn fell off on first run🙄, I was going to pre order the (plus) but have decided to hold on for a while due to lack of help and support available for the 2 I own, waiting for replacement warranty parts for 4 weeks with still no insight when they will be dispatched, I will let my hpi dealer sort them, and I will let him know before hand I want the new ones and should the old ones appear on my door step, just like magic, they will return to him 💪🏻 and will decide about the plus after seeing some vids from normal users and not hobby shops and dealers, got a lad on here think he has one on pre order I’m waiting to for his vid and opinion on it
I think my driving may have had an effect on that. I didn't get to really push it hard on the Spektrum battery before it broke, but I'm hoping to have another go at it soon. 🙂
How sad one big jump and it's broke. Not worth the money. From the looks of it these things are money hungry. One big jump and it's broke Go buy some parts and you're broke.😮 Go get a MJX16 scale hypergo And you will have fun all day with it running multiple packs of batteries through it with no breakage and most of the buggies and truggies and monster trucks are $120 or less. You can have fun all day with no brakes wouldn't that be nice. MJX baby is the way to go. They're also nice and fast too....😊. If you get the MJX truck it's a little more expensive but then again it has high quality parts in it and I saw a video of a guy bashing it and it wouldn't break he was trying to break it. So in order for him to break it he ran it over with his truck.😮😮
I have a mjx hyper go and yes they are tough but they are also tiny 1/16 scale. You're kinda comparing apples to oranges imo. Yes they are fun and tough but they are very limited in where you can ride them and what they can do. Still a fun rc for sure. I do like how they are easy to keep in your car and don't take up much room.

Vas!! the impaler... lol
🤣🤣
2 breaks in 1 video, as a viewer, that's great value. Great video as always.
Dude thank you for doing all these maverick quantum videos. I hope you will keep doing more on them
You're welcome. Thank you for watching them. 🙂

For a "cheap entry level" brand this thing did surprisingly well.
Looking forward to seeing more of these quantums and from HPI/maverick

Great test Vas , that beast really flys on 3s . Nice work mate
You know your having fun with an rc when your pitch of your voice changes. Great video!! Always excited when i see your vids on my feed
Thank you so much. Haha, I guess my voice does change a bit when I'm having some fun. Thanks heaps for stopping by again. 🙂

Definitely one to steer clear of. Thanks for testing.
Finally somebody who watched the video. You watch the video and figured out that these are junk Good job buddy😊😊😊😊
I don't see this as a weak truggy, if you upgrade the links and treat it with a modicum of respect I'm pretty sure it will make a great basher
Impressed.with your driving, not so much the car. 👍🏻
That little truck takes the jumps pretty good.
Aw man that was a bummer. Really good power through 👍
Hey Vas, you should take your Hyper TT out for a run, or maybe a torture test. A comparison between the quantum and the hyper TT would be cool too. Keep up the good work!

second half of the new intro is pretty cool

Could you do one on the little known
FTX DR8 Desert buggy, aka REELY RAPTOR aka FS ATOM 6S. Looks like the TT Bushmaster
Hope to see it THANKS
Great driving 😎👍
Since you seem to be the only one reviewing this, is this running a rebranded MAX10SCT ESC? if so, can you put a 4S on there ?
Cool RC,it happens,fix and let it rip
Where can you buy parts online ?
My 8 year old took her Quantum out for her first run today and hit a fence post and smaller the ball from the suspension arm front right side.
wow that system is a huge upgrade over the normal quantums, and wheelies on gravel? they definitely fixed the tyre grip issues
I’m sure I commented here😱 lol, so what’s your opinion here? Apart from the big air breakages which are unavoidable even with more expensive models..... is it with the money or would people be better off spending more for a granite?
Micro fractures and stress cracks. The larger hits weakened it and that small hit just finished it off.
Nice run
It Sounds Like it Smacks the Ground Hard every Landing, I wonder is it a little heavier than the other RC Brands
Still don’t think the car is to bad. It did some great jumps 👍🏁
Was the battery that u were using of the cheetah?
Great guess. I think so... Can't remember where exactly I got it from, but it very well could be from the Cheetah. 👍

Just my opinion, but thought it looked quicker (top speed wise) on the smaller capacity 3S battery....

@@AussieRCPlayground look forward to your next - hopefully more successful - run
Does it have a slipper clutch ?
It sometimes sounds like it’s slipping
It hasn't. It has centre differential instead. And the noise you hear is probably the ballooning tires catching on the body.
Hammer it and see if you can make that double mate.🍻🍻👻
Need some oil in that center diff :P what wheelie bar is that?
The wheelie bar is from the standard Quantum trucks.
There isn't a centre diff
@@davyarthurs the quantum plus flux does have a center diff.
Check out the unboxing video, Davy, the Quantum+ XT has a center diff.
@@EyesOnRC sorry my bad. Thanks for putting me right both! Obv missed the unboxing video 🤣
What’s the part number for the new arms my brother?
It's not original spare part. It's a 3D printed part. Search on ebay. Ciao
✌🏻😎🏴Are the clear bodies for the quantum flux lexan?
Yes, I believe they are.
@@AussieRCPlayground ok cool. thanks dude 👍🏻.
Yes.
What scale is it
1/10
about how much time can this bash with a 5500mah 3s ?
Probably about 15-20min depending on how you drive and where you drive...
About 10 minutes and then it breaks. Can't even run the batteries dead. Lol😮😮
WOW!!! great!!!
4mins it took lol..but basher rcs are made for fun
backflip nosedive time
Not every 2 runs go to plan either🤣
Haha, yup, I had one hell of a day that day...
@@AussieRCPlayground at least we can all rejoice in your glorious achievements that day, thanks for sharing!!
