Also a great thing to do that helps prevent axle from bending is get larger m5 x12mm washers behind the hex hub. The tiny ones that it has from the factory causes a pivot point which makes them bend alot easier.
Do you mean something like this: boltworld.co.uk/products/m5x12-5x1-0-form-c-washer-stainless-steel-a2-304-din-125?variant=13599105286237? Wouldn't the friction hen it is in contact with hub (as the washer has greater diameter than the bearing) be an issue then?
@ Yes, it will. I put a very thin small washer and a bigger one above.
Not only great advice for this truck, but solid advice for anyone starting out in rc! Thanks for the video!
Old video but I just got a Maverick Quantam MT (brushed) from Metro Hobbies.
Your video, the way you articulated your message is spot on mate.
Also great to have another Aussie banging out these videos.
Thank you
Subbed ! 🤙
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the vid and it helped you out. Welcome to the channel. 🙂👍
Got mine from Metro Hobbies as well. Dennis is a great guy.
Seriously excellent info. I've learnt from this 20mins than from hours of other TH-cam RC stuff.
Perfect videos for newbies. I've been in the hobby for almost 7 years.
Quality video for newbies or oldies and anyone in between you really explain things so that everyone can comprehend,just found your channel 😉
Much appreciated! Thank you. 🙂
I've been thinking about getting one of these, and your video has convinced me.
Thank you Vas.
Thanks for the vid. I had 3 of these issue after just two runs with the Maverick. After reading up I also added 15mm washers behind the hex’s and have had no further bent axle issues. Those probs aside this is a really fun and cheap truck.
Thanks vas I have one on order and I would have missed all these tips for it. I’ll be doing all these 😎👍🏻 you the man
Thanks Vas ,this looks like a decent truck , they all have their weak points but for the money these are very nice. Looks a lot tougher than a traxxas stampede, think we're going to have to get one of these. Great well explained video again mate.
Very well said and explained. Now this makes so much more sense
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
That is very helpful, thank you so much. I am going to sell these cars too and keep all your information in mind!
Happy new year 🎉
Nice tips. I just picked the brushless MT today. I'll follow your advice. I also bought extra set of lower control arms too just in case 👍. My LHS mentioned broken drive cups on the differentials. I'll probably put some bearings on the outside of the drive cups like I did with the Kaiju trucks
Great video Vas! Im sure this helped alot of people!
Thanks a lot u saved me an RC thanks again
Thanks man! I was so confused why my 4wd wasn’t working
What's up Vas?! Great stuff brother!
enjoyed the video even though I don't own that truck , yet.. kind of universal advice there that should help a lot of people 👍😃
Thanks, my lad picked up a Quantum XT from Metro today and it’s good to be able to at least dip a toe in the water on the maintenance side of things. (Haven’t even driven it yet but the pgrade itch has already started! 😬)
Thanks man, will save this video :) Found it yesterday online with about 50% discount. Bought it asap :D Just waiting for it to arrive now, haha.
Very helpful since I am a beginner with these fast beasts.
Awesome, glad I was able to help. 😎👍
@@AussieRCPlayground you guys are the best thank you so much for the tutorial on the maverick. I have the maverick phantom xt
Man wish I watched this BEFORE. Bought my first ever proper RC today, the Quantum+ Flux. And during the first battery run, the grub screw indeed flew away so now instead of day 1 having fun Im waiting for a grub screw order : | Your video helped me identify the problem tho, so thank you very much.
Great video!!
Hank you so much my steering has been going left for as long as i can remember
Awesome video. Thank you very much!
Good vidéo. I am wayting for the Quantum+ cheers from France.
V useful video mate. Nice 1 and happy new year.
Thanks mate, I feel like this video was made just for me 😂😂
Great video! Thanks
I just bought one of these!
So helpful. Had no clue what the controller buttons did before or that screws could come loose. Thanks for the video.
You're very welcome, I'm glad it helped you out. Thank you for watching. 🙂👍
Great job on this video. This is a great looking truck with the Pro-Line tires on it. I think this is the truck I said was toy grade. I stand corrected.
Good video 👍
Good explanation 👍
Good overview on the whole truck, thanks for sharing with the RC community.
Will you be covering these in the US? Hobbytown started carrying the line and they sold out very quick.
Razor. Are you getting one? I just picked up the MT brushless version.
Thanks guys...very good video....
Great video
Both my brothers have one of these and both of them have had every problem you talked about also the rear rod and turnbuckle are breaking
Dual Rate set depends from how many kg',s has the servo, that's how I explain it to myself, 50%-75% is fine for start.
Thanks for this quality vid. Would you recommend upgrading to a metal spur gear or keeping the sacrificial plastic one? I’ve already stripped mine once and replaced with a plastic one but wondering what to do if it strips easily again. Cheers 👍
Yeah. Mine is the new design. Landed a double at the track maybe 3ft tall and the front a arms both broke. They need to work on the material composition.
every problem you said, ive had to deal with XD id also say check wheels nuts, mine were tight, but not enough rounded my wheels out on first bash XD
Also rounded out my wheels on my 2nd bash, shame cause I loved the neon green 🤣
I got one a few days ago and it's great fun but I've found to be so delicate. I'm new to RC so taking it pretty steady, no big jumps or hard smashes etc. So far I've broken the front left suspension arm (exactly as you described, exact same happened to a friend of mine too), bent two of the axles, bent one of the rear turnbuckles and snapped the other.
I didn't expect it to be a rock solid beastie but it's waaaay softer than I'd expected. Great video though dude, appreciate it 🙂👍
These problems are common in this price range cars.But its a way to learn to maintain and fix things!
Thank you for good Informative video and great tips on the truck and rc controller. I was wondering what the gray push button located under the rc controller wheel is for
The gray button is for the third channel which is currently not connected to anything, so it does nothing.
super video , it will be awesome i think if there someone knows an option to change the suspension arms with the aluminum one.... they really broke so easy, i am waiting your video about the suspension oil you say in the previous video maybe you will go to change ti :) i found a suspension really unresponsible its the car is bouncing like a ball
Great great video. It helped my friend beyond ur ideas. Could you please make another update on the Jlb 21101 truggy please.
I no longer have that truck, sorry.
@@AussieRCPlayground Oops. No problem.
Nice video as always, very informative! I just picked up a Quantum XT used (my first 1/10 scale RC) and yep on the first run I clipped a tree branch and damaged a lower arm, bent the shock shaft and a drive shaft. Was kinda expecting this as the Quantum doesn't have the best reputation for being the most durable. As this vid was posted a couple of years ago, my question is there any new updates on more durable parts from HPI or aftermarket I can source before I go out and buy replacements?
Although these issues are minor, they should have been addressed at the HPI Factory !
Wish I saw this weeks ago. I have done spur gear. Replaced it now axle it was on snapped. Wondering if did spur gear too tight. I have ordered new axle hoping can replace it. All part of the hobby I guess.
Every problems you said, its happens to me :( in a small hit on a tree i brake the arm, bend the shock and bend axe front and rear
Mate I had the same issues with that cup slipping
Rtr. Ready to replace.
I have the flux. I negated that axle problem by changing the washers that space the axles and hold the pin in place. They are tiny and allow bending to happen. So I cut my own spacers out of plastic and now the wheels have very little movement. But maybe something else will break now.
Awesome video
What wheels are those
Where do I get them?
Thank you
Update. Axle no longer bends on jumps but they do bend when there is a sudden introduction of grip when you're spinning tyres. Was doing a burnout in polished concrete when one wheel found grip. Bent the axles.
Awesome review very detailed 🤙 do you know if they going be doing any alloy control arms for this?
Propably you can use one aftermarket.
the diffs are having issues too, the pin is dropping out of the pinion :( On a positive note here are new HD axles now.
Thanks for this video!
I had an issue where it intermittently did not go left.. Turned out a little stone got under the servo, and (intermittently) jammed the servo arm..
Would be nice if that space was blocked by the plastic casing.
Also had a stone jamming the long axle, bending it, making me think; Couldn't that be covered in a tunnel?
I put a little washer in the front cup where that long axle goes into, making for a tighter fit.
Without it, the rear cup wouldnt stay straight, it would flex, rattle, not run properly.
I checked 10 times to see if i missed an original part somewhere, which could've caused this, but couldn't find any mishaps on my part. But im open to suggestions.
I really like it as a first RC Car, but that little hex thing you mentioned using lock-tite on, caused me a lot of headaches. would be nice if it, and that pin it presses on would be bigger, giving it more contact area, because the pin gets deformed at that point as a result of all the forces.
Will that survive the bigger, higher amp ECU 🤔 Im afraid not?
And why the ... is that large 48? tooth gear made from plastic??? It survived for a whopping two days🤦🏼 Of course I immediately bought a metal one, but it did cost me some grief and another trip to the RC store 🙄
But again, overall i like the car..
And loved the video, just wish I watched it before my list of issues i faced.. 😂
Look up hobbyplus ravage 10MT
the new owners of hpi have just rebranded a China made car unfortunately.
My sons maverick before we ran it I locktighted all these things. His maverick quantum has had the rear axles bend also.
Not a bad car for the price for him but a newbie would be disappointed in one of these cars as it would be broken pretty fast if they don’t know how to drive an Rc.
Great video highlighting these little tips mate more ppl need to see this.
Thank you. 😊👍
@@AussieRCPlayground I’ve seen the pinions back out too and eat a spur,
Dab of loctite can prevent that too.
Thanks for the video, great info...In the earlier video you mentioned that a suspension upgrade might help the car handling, did you have any suggestions on where to start with that? Were you thinking different oil or a full replacement shock?
Just different oil, but I'll talk about that when I run it next. Just didn't have time to include it in this video.
Heya buddy, I've finally got the new batteries and installed but I don't have brakes or reverse. Can you please tell me how to rectify this problem? 😊
Am in need of help every now & then ,my maverick keeps going into high reverse without me touching the remote, any ideas
Great video guys. My brakes are very poor on my xt brushed version, is there a way to tweak them? any advice hugely appreciated.
Good video, thanks, Have lost the servo horn screw, and the horn has come off the servo. Can anyone advise where the servo horn should be positioned?
Hey great video. What is the button on the transmitter under the left hand thumb?
What’s the silver button in the thumb area of the transmitter? What does it do?
Hey vass hope all is well. Get vid bro
Hello, the tires and rims that you mount what code do they have ? Can you put them without touching them ?
These are different then. My ESC is fixed to the chassis with 2 screws from the bottom from factory, not with double sided tape.
Mine has a plate also, but the ESC is glued to that plate with tape and not directly bolted to the plate. You sure yours isn't like that also?
Regarding the spur gear my car keeps coming out of line causing the gears to slip. I have to keep realigning the mesh wish seems to fix the issue temporarily. Is the problem the plastic spur gear? Should I replace for a hardened metal spur gear?
Would it be of any use if the axles were rolled up with a strong duct tape (e.g. rex duct tape) to increase the rigidity? I am thinking about buying the truck but I want to jump with it.
Wait loctite is only metal to metal, it melts plastic ie the servo screw going into horn ?
Ottimo video davvero interessante ed istruttivo ho acquistato da poco un maverick MT ed ho notato se uso la dust cover si surriscalda molto il motore da non poterlo toccare, ho notato una rigidità degli ammortizzatori...devo cambiare l 'olio magari più fluido..ti chiedo se i differenziali sono lubrificati o devo controllare?grazie
Hi, what's the name of that glue you put on the grub screw so that it wouldn't comes out?
Hello. Wondering if you might be able to help with an issue I'm having with my Qantum Flux. It doesn't always reverse anymore. It seems to do it intermittently, however I'd say it doesn't work about 90% of the time. It also doesn't sound very smooth anymore when accelerating. I don't suppose you know what is the most likely cause for these symptoms? Thanks in advance.
I accidentally moved channel 2 how do I reset it please
What is the grey button behind the steering wheel?
I got a maverick quantum xt and crashed into a lamppost with a bit of speed and the whole under tray snapped is that common with the cars ?
The best you can do with this truck before you run it , its put again in the box and take to the shop to get your money back. my first run with the mav last 5 minutes before it breaks (rear turnbuckle). i fixed it and in the next run brokes another thing in 4 minutes (center driveshaft gear) . Now im babysitting it, its my little puppy , it runs on flat asphalt with no jumps and no drifting and no nothing, completely useless for 200 € . Gotta wait for both spares about 40 days, about 3 hours of wrenching and i drive it for 9 minutes in 2 months. Nothing more to say.
how about to read the manual to know about most of these things or inform yourself first before using it.
What about the silver button by your thumb
Does it not have any kind of slipper clutch? I read somewhere that it doesn’t have one but can’t remember where I saw it.
Whats the screw size of the loose screw in the servo?
It is stuck in revuse how do I fix it¿
Hello! My esc not beeping and the car not mooving. Only steering work. Help! :)
I want one of these so bad I can’t seem to find them anywhere stateside!
Vortex hobbies dotcom
What wheels did you install?
i bought one this arvo from Mr Toys and about 3 minutes into running her around the backyard, no jumps no crashes but a fair bit of throttle and a lot of wheelstanding. it lost drive and made a horrible sound like a stripped gear. What am i looking at here guys any idea? Is there warranty for this type of failure?
How do you get throttle trim back to neutral?
I have problem wen i try to go in reverse my car just stop i Can stille drive straight bit not reverse. Any others who have also had that problem
my quantum has the brushed 540 and it always Fry's out in the wet,I thought they were waterproof ?
These brushed motors will fail even without water, so best to get a different motor. You can use a Traxxas 12T Titan, a ARRMA 12T or a HPI 12T Saturn motor. Any of those will perform better and will last longer than the stock Quantum motor. Only thing you will probably need to do is change the Tamiya plugs to Deans or XT60 as the extra amp draw from the motors can melt the Tamiya connectors.
Hope that helps you out. 👍
Hey guys any ideas if the wheelie bar that fits the older models fits onto the new quantum PLUS??
Great vídeo! My spur gear is in plastic... and the teeth are broken... 🤔🤨 where can I get a metal one ?? is it easy to replace?
I don't think there is a metal one available at this time, so unfortunately you may have to stick with the plastic one for now.
I brought my maverick quantum flux 2 weeks ago.
I’ve broke everything you’ve mentioned in this video.
Buying new axels tomorrow 😡
Welcome to the RC world. Fix repeat 🤣
@@joseCalderon1976 haha that’s so true! I got my buggy and drift car running and broke both on the same day 😂
@@Jear21 I send my bashers 20ft into the air. If I don't land on tires, it's usually game over. I broke two of them within 5 minutes during double backflip attempts. Big block Xmaxx and Outcast 8s. Check them out in my channel 👍
Some good tips here Vas, did you get around to changing the shock oils?
Not as yet, that's next on the list.
How about now...11 months later? Lol maybe you already posted it and i just havent got to it yet? Lol i will keep on watching and see! Lol
I have a brushed version of the quantum i made it brush less I've replaced so many spur gears and its sometimes likes to be rear wheel drive anyone have a solution to does problems
Fantastic info, I bought one for my 8 year old son for Christmas, okay me too lol . Very handy info I have lost the servo screw and need to replace this, the first time it came loose and I didn’t have any steering. Do you have any info on lining up the servo with the arm?
Thanks
Leave the servo horn aka arm disconnected from the servo, power up the car and the servo should center. Manually get the tires as close to center as you can and reinstall the servo horn, try and maintain 90 degree angles with all of the linkage for the steering when the wheels are centered.
@@sixstar2067 Yes that works, thanks heaps👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@mnwazza8811 happy I could help
Thank you for helping out. 👍
My contreler keeps beeping is there anyway i can fix that
Could it be just flat batteries? 🤷🏼♂️
If I got to do something to it out of the box I don't need it. I don't ever have to do anything to my associated trucks
Hey.. what's the little grey button hid by the accelerator trigger for? Many thanks
It's a 3rd channel button, but it's not in use.
@Aussie RC Playground thank you for your prompt response. I received my rc today so just going through everything. Great video full of interesting and very useful tips 👍🏽
Hey, great video! I bought one of these after watching this and after only 5 drives out it seems broken :-( I have steering but no drive - The ESC red light flashes when I press the throttle trigger on the controller and voltage goes out to the motor wires but no wheel movement. If I wiggle the wires that connect to the motor the wheels sometimes spin so I guess it's a loose connection but I don't see any way to change or improve these connections on top of the motor - Is it new motor time do you think? Thanks :-)
Same happened to me, I’ve burnt up two stock brushed motors. Then swapped to a stock axial motor/esc and it burned up to.
@@keef_taco2732 I ended swapping out to the brushless motor and ESC and all.good so far 🙃
