it's cheap now because it just came out. It is also where you by it. I've seem this on a site for 399.00. I paid over 200 dollars and it came with one battery. So when rc's come with 2 batteries...they are paying for that. Just one battery for this car would cost 50-80 dollars. So don't forget...extra batteries, parts, brushed and brushless motors, metal bottom or plastic bottom make a difference. Kraton is not a better car...it just have more metal parts and that's what you pay for.
The stock shock oil is really thick, i changed mine out to 65wt first. Then tried 80wt & went with that, suspension was much better & truck did not bounce around like it did with the stock shock oil. I also found doing a drop test on the bench the wheels would bounce up off the bench on stock oil. Changed to the 80wt oil & the truck is planted on the drop test. Great little truck for little money & 45mph out the box for a $210 truck is pretty fair speed, i would think 50mph is doable quite easy by going up a couple of teeth pinion.
gillian9178 definitely Gillian on the gears but 45mph is good enough for me. Don’t want to started getting heating issues. I will definitely look into the shock oil. For the money it’s an awesome buy so far. Thank you very much for watching my vid. Haven’t seen you I the comments in a while. Hope all is well with you and your family and Merry Christmas💯👍🏾
I bet if you put some light shock oil in it will handle nice. Thinking about picking one up just for a beater. Cant wait to see your run of the MT version
Nice. I like them both. Great trucks. I think the plus jumps better but not by much. I’m not a super basher or jumper but that’s what I saw. Awesome buy though.
@@dagaming1333 honestly if you have the extra funds sure but if you are on a budget no need for it. I don’t think it’s world’s of different but it is a little different if your jumping it. Just my opinion.
Yes put the antenna in the tube and tighten the grub screw where the antenna goes. make sure you have the antenna tube fill to the top with the antenna. You want as much range a possible.
@@UDRC85 Hi, I just installed my antenna. I had to get a little L wrench. Tomorrow I'm going by my sister house,. it will be my first time driving my Maverick.
I've had good range with mine, unless I'm near the 5G mast. I'm wondering if you were near one. My range is as far as I can see - unless near the mast then it's 10 meters or so.
G Doris I just ran my Xt a few minutes ago and broke it lol. If you told me 1hr ago it may have saved the truck. Lmao. Thanks for for the info. I have not ran the MT yet but will take that into consideration.
I love 2s on these rigs. It’s the sweet spot. I ran 3s on it but it’s very wild. After running in 3s for a few toy will get some stuttering. I have also heard the cooling fan is not rated for 3s I believe. Honestly you will have a blast in 2s.
Jeff Miller wow lol. I am bay with reading the manuals. Thanks for the info. Is that why the truck will have that hesitation on 3s after running a while?
Jeff Miller wow. I will look at the instructions for sure but. After running the truck I decided to run it on 2s for the most part. It’s such a smooth drive.
This car is unbelievable for the price! One of the cheapest 3s brushless vehicles I've ever heard of! Great video 😎💪
Couldn't agree more! I am having a lot of fun with it. Hopefully when I run my new Qunatum plus I don't put these to the side.

Great for the money! Looks really good on 3s.

Nice maiden session fam 🎄💪🏾💯

Awesome run! I see you got both the xt and mt nice!!!!
Guy Menierian yes sir. Definitely having fun with it.
@@UDRC85 🙂👍
Not gonna lie 2s wasn't impressive until it did wheelies lol 3s is nice with the rolling wheelies...nice rc👍👍 great video ud rc Merry Christmas buddy✌
cain sample Merry Christmas Cain. I was not impressed with the 2s at first. On 3s was definitely fun.
One word. (Beast).
👍🏾💯
good stuff
I appreciate it. Thank you very much for watching my vid.
Great budget rc thinking of getting one, even over the new quatum plus platforms dont think they are worth the extra £100 here in the uk
Nice. I like them both. Great trucks. I think the plus jumps better but not by much. I’m not a super basher or jumper but that’s what I saw. Awesome buy though.
@@UDRC85 do you think the price difference is worth it?

@@UDRC85 think I'll get the cheaper one, seems good value £255 for the plus you might awell stretch a little more for a granite or typhoon
@@dagaming1333 I agree with that also. It’s really up to the individual.
What about the antenna?
Should I put it in a little pin tube.
or shove it down in the in the hole to make it smaller so it wouldn't be in the way.
Yes put the antenna in the tube and tighten the grub screw where the antenna goes. make sure you have the antenna tube fill to the top with the antenna. You want as much range a possible.

Hi,
I just installed my antenna.
I had to get a little L wrench.
Tomorrow I'm going by my sister house,.
it will be my first time driving my Maverick.

Maverick Rules !!!!!!!

Hi,
what channel is faster on the Maverick Quantum XT remote control
I've had good range with mine, unless I'm near the 5G mast. I'm wondering if you were near one. My range is as far as I can see - unless near the mast then it's 10 meters or so.
Got Cha. I was at a college so maybe that was the issue.
Nice runs it gets it on 3s
Kurt's RCs yes it does. I’m very impressed with this truck.
I bought the Maverick quantum flux MT and had nothing but problems , bent stub axles , overheating esc . Great rc but don't bash it to hard !
G Doris I just ran my Xt a few minutes ago and broke it lol. If you told me 1hr ago it may have saved the truck. Lmao. Thanks for for the info. I have not ran the MT yet but will take that into consideration.
The newest version has improved parts, shafts, axles, esc, etc
👍👍👍
I appreciate that brother. 👍🏾💯
I got one today just the xt not the Flux so I'm trying figure it all out its been years snice I had a good rc car
change to the 50wt shock oil and it should give a softer more plush suspension
Lander F thank you so much for the info. I will definitely do that.
💯☺️
👍🏾💯💪🏾
Thanks for such a well explored vid on the car! You’ve helped make up my mind that this is the car I want. Is this the Quantum Flux with the 80A ESC?
Yeah this is that car. It's actually a really good car, lots of spare parts are available, and it looks to be quality components.
My battery runs out after 10-15 minutes after 5 or more hours of charging, how can I fix that
Max speed at 3s with stock gear ???
Hi what would u recommend running this car on 2s lipo or 3s lipo as some people say it’s not fully 3s compatible?
I love 2s on these rigs. It’s the sweet spot. I ran 3s on it but it’s very wild. After running in 3s for a few toy will get some stuttering. I have also heard the cooling fan is not rated for 3s I believe. Honestly you will have a blast in 2s.

Thanks for pointing that out. I did not realized it was there. 💯👍🏾
Did you replace the fan to run 3s and if so, with what fan?
Jeff Miller I did. It replace the fan. The fan on the esc needs to be replaced to run 3s?
@@UDRC85 comes with 6v fan, instructions say to upgrade to 12v for 3s

Can it take a 4s
