Really helpful video, the family Christmas present of the Maverick Quantum Flux had bent axles after a few goes. I have the HD axles on back order and off to the shed to find some m5 washers. 1st hobby grade RC car and all the family love it so glad there is a fix.
Cheers for videoing the fix! I got one for Christmas within 30 seconds id bent the rear axle! Ordered HD rear axles and will pick up some washers tomorrow!
@@SAMAXRC we are totally into crawling too here! Also working on a high powered, brushless, mud drag / mud truck project that should be on video soon :) best of both worlds haha.
Small world, i live in Portsmouth. I see Jay Tee RC has just posted a speed run on his stock Maverick Quantum Flux on 3s 75c lipo & recorded 47mph on tarmac & 34mph on 2s. Pretty impressive for a £150 1/10 truck.
I used a 400CST as already had it in the workshop. I would recommend 500 to 600 though. Took it out yesterday for 1st time since mods and it was way more supple, absorbed the bumps and even accellerated better due to squat and weight transfer :)
@@MPRCBBRR awesome good to hear 👍 not taken mine out yet only running it on 2s I’ve got hd axles coming soon and got to dig some washers out of the shed top tip thank you
Very informative, thank you. Noticed one of my rear wheels is doing exactly that. Will probably have to change drive shaft now. Will put bigger washers on the other corners. 👍

Hi great video, subbed. I have the newer version arriving tomorrow. I'm trying to find the 12 mm washers in M5 but the M5 only seems to start at 15mm overall diameter. I can get M4 at 12mm diameter though. Will M4 12mm fit?
Thankyou! Centre hole on m4 will be too small. If the newer model comes with the HD axles they are a lot stronger anyway. If not keep searching hardware stores :)
@@MPRCBBRR ok thanks! I ordered the nuts you recommended. Will start with a couple of 2s batteries until I find my feet. Great channel, keep the vids coming.
Thanks for the tip. Does the big washer bind bearing? As now it presses on inner ring and outer ring of the bearing altogehter. I bent 3 out of 4 axles within 5 minutes and it was not strong bash. I have preordered HD axles, but they wont be available until spring... Poor quality and parts support...
Thanks for the video. I’ve encountered the same issue but I can’t remove the hex nuts for the life of me...they just won’t pull off. Is there a trick to these?
Hello Mate, Thanks for your videos, helps me a lot! Do you have any idea how to remove part no 150139 from front gearbox? Cant find any screw here to remove centre drivecup set from front gearbox.
Thanks for the comment! I haven't torn into the gearboxes yet so it isnt a job I have tried. I will see if I can figure it out from the exploded diagram :)
From glancing at the diagram it looks like you remove the gearbox casing, then the crown gear is held to 150139 with a pin. Once you push the pin out it should release! But without having done it, it is just an educated guess.
I've just bought my quantum Flux XT and I've bent a rear axle, I went to do this mod but my car has come with no shims at all so I'm wondering if I need to do it?
good idea about shimming the weels, about A-armd i have driven the car without broke 1 + most of the time bend shock, so every time when i go out ... dont want to count them even :D what oil did you use for the suspension looks very softy and smooth :) Take a look for that A-Arms 6858 form JLB CHEETAH look very similar if someone have it will be nice to share the share the measures or try out if it fits to the Quantum ... Cheers !
I used 400CST, which is also listed as 40WT. Different units of measurement :) having the suspension softer is also much kinder on the arms and shock towers and it absorbs the force of shocks!
Have you not had any issues with the suspension arms? On 2nd drive of my new Quantum it split after a side flip out on the field... Looks a weak point to me. Also how was your steering. Mine is turning more to the left then it does to the right even after trim adjustments.
Hiya! Nope...we have been lucky. All of the footage we have of the Quantum is done on the original arms. I have ordered the Metsafil ones from Portugal to future proof it though. None of my rc's have turned a wheel in 2021 due to lockdown :( so they dont break on the shelf ;) steering...again fine.
@@MPRCBBRR I've just done this mod today did you take out both of the stock washers or just replace one on each axle? I'm also having trouble with the car in reverse when it gets up to speed I get quite a bit of wobble going on? I've tried centralising the servo and trimmed it straight. Any tips would be hugely grateful!
@@skyshots1685 the washers we used were just under twice the thickness of the shims, so we took the 2 thin shims off and added 1 washer instead. But they all vary in width. Regarding the reverse wobble, its a fairly common thing with rc's especially with big wheels! As far as the Maverick goes just check the servo saver and so on.
@@MPRCBBRR I've just gone to do this mod completed 3 wheels and now tbe last one has already bent! Any advice on how to get hex bolt off the axle?! As its slightly bent won't just slide off!
@@skyshots1685 prebent?! Can always try jimmying it with a pair of thin nosed pliers from behind. If it's too curved for the hex to be removed you may have to gently unbend it...flat surface and a mallet or something. Leave the wheelnut on as it you hit the threads it will squish them.
@@MPRCBBRR cheers mate. Amazing help as opened mine yesterday and bent one of them and on way to bending them all. Also snapped a wishbone. Have you had to bend the axle back or have you just put the washers on?
@@jessetaylor7003 I kinda ran it box stock, made a whole bunch of bananas then did the washers with new parts. So havent bent one back. You can, but each bend is an extra weakness. Think of the tab on a coke can, you get maybe 8 wiggles before a snap ;)
Well mate I will try and get some soon as I can find some in stock somewhere. If you fancy doing a video on the below though I would appreciate it - changing axles - replacing wishbones - changing shock oil Keep it up mate
Hi noticed on mine they have two washers front and rear but the rear has one full and one half thickness washer was this the same on yours couldn't see in the vid
Have had reports of both types. I imagine they measure tolerances on a batch and then adjust shims to suit. The M5 washers tend to be approx the same thickness regardless (1 m5 washer per 1.5/2 shims) as long as it isn't tight when re-inserting the pin it should be fine 😃
the smaller shim suits the size of the bearing to reduce friction. won't the larger one will only rub against the axle pin and plastics when running? just looks like a bad design from the get go
That's what I'm asking myself, too. I tried bigger washers today, but you can immediately feel that the wheel doesn't spin as good as before. I guess it all depends on the thickness of the washer, I'll give it another try with a slimmer one.
Hiya I have 2 off these 1 for my boy and me,, both off ours have lost 4 wheeled drive 🤦♂️ just rear wheeled now any idea off what the fault could be?? Would be great if you could help cheers
Hi Jason. Easiest thing to check on any 4wd with this kind of driveline is that everything is connected. At the front where the propshaft connects to the gearbox there will be a little coupler thing with a slot that the propshaft goes into (this is so hard to explain without pictures lol) it has a grubscrew that holds it to the shaft. If this is loose it can spin around the shaft without providing drive! ... er ... just thinking how else to explain it! If stuck message via our facebook and I'll send a pic! facebook.com/mandprc Cheers, Mike.
Either that or the axles have snapped. If you hold it and spin a front wheel, and the wheel spins without the axle spinning, you have a snapped cv...in which case see the uprated axles in this vid!
@@jasonsmith-gp8xe I had the exact same thing happen to my sons. I bought a whole new front gearbox and swapped it out and that solved it. I then took apart the old gearbox and found that the pinion gear inside that gets attached to the drive cup was slipping of the retaining pin. The rear of the diff was perfect but every time the gearbox was moved around the pinion would slip off the retaining pin again and would lose drive. My hobby shop is closed till next week and then I shall be going in to claim on the warranty. I have also had to change 4 lower front suspension arms that keep splitting at the seam.
