- This is the NEW Maverick Quantum2 MT Flux from HPI Racing. It's a 1/10 Scale Brushless RC Monster Truck RC Car. I beat the snot out of it, and apart from a couple of issues it's an absolute BEAST!

Any car that can survive the concrete jungle in freezing conditions deserves praise. You definitely made that thing earn it's money in this video. 😏 Well done.
Also, dude, thank you so much for the mention and reference to my content. That's really kind of you, very much appreciated. 😎🤜🤛
No probs mate. I’m sure once people see your 3s Run, it will confirm even more how tough this thing is 😉👌
😂😂
This thing needs a crown for that 🤙
you used to be a skatepark hater! you're learning!!
I bet the Granite tires would be great on it. Maybe even the Big Rock tires.
He does skateparks more than u think.
I’m not sure you’ve fact checked that. I’ve always loved skateparks… just not for judging an RC Cars true performance 😇
It's the cars that don't like them 😂
@@RCWatson 😂 spot on.
In this class, the Team Associated Rival MT10 with RPM arms can't be beaten. I was just playing with my 1997 HPI Nitro RS4 the other day. It still runs like it was brand new. I miss the HPI of those days. Was able to run in my local hobby shop and they were loaded with HPI parts. I think I just got teary-eyed. HPI does that to me, lol.
The first brushless truck I ever saw was an HPI, I don't remember the name, Savage Flux? It was great. A friend had it for years, then got out of the hobby and gave all his RC stuff to his nephew. When he got back into it, he infected me again, and I have a Granite and a TT Pro. The HPI Maverick Quantum2 was on my list when I bought the Granite on sale for about the same price. If HPI parts showed up nearly as much as Arrma 3S stuff does, I would have bought it instead.
Considering the beating You gave it in the cold I am amazed none of the plastics broke. The most common failure on most cars around here is shattering plastics (and bending drive shafts) when smacking into a kerb or steel railings. 10 out of 10 for proper hardcore testing and 10 our of 10 to HPI for making such a rugged machine. Can see this being a whole bunch of fun !
Yes, it took a massive kicking for sure. I was super impressed
@TomleyRC green is your team colours? Whos your team?
I honestly really appreciate channels that are able to skate park bash, thank you for doing it. I'm on a tight budget, and getting an idea of quality and durability is important. Also, very fun to watch, thanks again.
Atleast they have addressed the issues and made them alot better. I had the Maverick quantum flux and it broke every run and I never took it to a skate park. I rolled it on grass and it snapped the front arm.
Yes, this has had a massive makeover
Very impressive from HPI/Maverick!
How do I miss all these cars😱😆
🤘
Put ya glasses on ;) 😘
@@adamwolfy4826 😝🤣
Seems the MT10 has a Rival! See what I did there....?
Nice and thorough review, Phil, as ever, GJ! Interesting that HPI have cottoned on to using you guys as not only reviewers but also essentially testers too. Nice work by those guys, depsite teh amount of risk if it all goes wrong.
haha... like it. I think this would certainly stand up to an MT10. I have a new one in a box...hmmmmm
This does not compete with the Rival MT10 or Granite. It is nose heavy, nose dives in the air, so it can barely do a single backflip. Many less expensive RC’s have this problem. They’re so light, so to avoid constant wheelies on the ground, weight has to be put forward, then it sucks in the air. Any time you see a video and the person can do front flips more easily than backflips, that means it’s a nosediver. An MT10 or Granite can triple backflip off these skatepark ramps easily and will float straight airs without nosediving. This looks like a good RC for the money, but this is clearly a sponsored video, so take any claims with a grain of salt. Just watching I can tell you, this is not in the same league as an MT10 or Granite in terms of aerial performance.
@@tyrellcorp2118 I think "clearly a sponsored videos" is a bit of an unfair take. It's clearly taking a load of abuse! But I'm definitely wanting to understand the nosy heavy trait that it seems to have in the air right now. I've looked at pictures off the chassis, it's not like it has the motor at the front or any unusual layout, perhaps it's got some weights? But that seems a bit weird to do intentionally... Hopefully Tomley and other youtubers will do some more detailed looks into this as it's got a lot of potential with this price point imo.
The MT10 & 3s Arrma range are the best 1/10 bashers you can get… I’ve never said any different. This Quantum struggles on 2s to keep the front end up, however, run it 3s the same as the Arrmas and MT10 and it’s a completely different truck. I mention that quite clearly in the video. And as much as this probably wouldn’t win in a shoot out with an MT10 or 3s BLX… let’s not forget the price of this.
In the UK it’s 249. The MT10 is 339 and the Arrmas are about 359. This Maverick has no competition at its price point, so the only comparison is to go up a level….
Sponsored Video or not, it’s a decent truck.
@@jayfarthing a nose heavy RC doesn’t mean it has everything slammed all the way to the front. Simply moving your battery forward or backwards a little affects the weight balance. Slightly forward weight has lots of advantages, better handling, keeps the front wheels on the ground. Many RC’s are designed that way. But if you want a good jumper, you want neutral in the air. THAT is the MT10/Granite’s main strength. Especially in a smaller RC. Smaller RC’s are especially twitchy so if they’re also unbalanced, it’s very noticeable in the air. Just watch if the driver is having trouble keeping the nose up. Can the RC float in the air, or does it require constant throttle to avoid a nosedive? Also on a balanced RC, backflips are easy, while front flips require very deliberate technique. If you see an RC front flipping all over, but straining to pull a back flip, it’s nose heavy in the air. Durability isn’t everything, it has to perform first.
They made some amazing quality plastics on that , nothing else I’ve ever seen can take such a kicking in the freezing cold and have almost no damage whatsoever. HPI is on a come back and I’m all for it. Epic review Phil
Cheers dude
I have Mt flux 80a.
Plastic have very good quality but the problem is drivetrain on 3s lipo.
Nothing else? Try breaking a HBX fc610. lol Not happening.
@@andrewrc81 I have heard many positive things about them though I do imagine the drivetrains plastics do wear out quickly under the higher stress
@@bismuth7730 I’ll have to check out a review or two , thank you for sharing another indestructible rc car
Looks like model sport has them at
£249 brushless
£179 brushed
Nice review Phil
just seen it,, 249 seems a great price, almost makes me ask what's the catch. 249 for a monster truck, 1/10. brushless basher is entry price, it has no right to be so durable with such performance, I am really impressed. its over 100 quid cheaper than the MT 10 which is fair to say is considered the standard for super durable, affordable 1/10 bashers.
Very nice rig!! What a beast! To be able to survive the crashes you've put it through is a testament to it's durability!! Excellent video!
I am so glad HPI is still doing new releases. I was worried HPI was just being squeezed for what money was left in the company. I am a long time fan of the products and hope development continues. I do not own any Mavericks but like what i see. This one is a good start.
They seem to be slowly coming back… so fingers crossed for some more releases!
It changed ownership a while ago so no money being squeezed but yet it's good to see them bringing out some new stuff
@@Luke-en2tk HPI was a big player in RC at one time. Sure did not want see them fade away. Glad new owners have a plan. Their products are getting scarce in the US hobby stores.
@@kevincain6843 yep I'm well aware of their history they do seem to be smaller in the US at present. They are certainly starting 2024 in a good way
Great video Tomley! I would to pick up one of these mavericks
Thanks for the great review definitely going to check it out now
He said science!! Savage! And he brought James May into it! You rock Tomley! USA 🇺🇸.
Looks like a fun little budget truck that's tough as nails.
The reason we have less issues over here in Oz with bodies, especially in summer cause the heat softens them, so they deform rather than crack, and they bounce back more easily. It was 40 c 2 days ago here in Sydney, and it's not unusual for it to get hotter still before it starts cooling down again which makes bodies fairly pliable.
If you want better consistency and punch from your lipo's year round, a trick I learned from a flyer is to put them in the waist band of your pants for about 30 minutes before use. That will give you both more consistent and warmer battery temps for your speed runs making it a more even playing field for car comparisons year round.
Cheers from Australia. 🤘🍻
You have such cool skate parks, and bike tracks that you use. My town has a skate spot at my local park, but not as cool as yours. Plus yours seems like you’re the only one there ever. Mine is filled with actual skaters and bike riders. The nerve those kids using the park we built for them.
Epic sends!! Love the new transmitter design for the Maverick line up. Here's hoping it's the new normal 👍
Yes, it looked pretty basic, but actually has a fair few functions on there that many others don't have
You smacked the living sh*t out of it, and it just came back for more. Unbelievable! Fabulous machine.
YES. That green, black and white scheme. Can we get a suspension cam short for this car Phil?
Yes, I did try but it was so cold that the camera just kept coming unstuck
Great to see Maverick with some new updated trucks, 2 things i see i dont like is the 3660 motor with a tiny 3.175mm motor shaft. The other is the single centre battery strap, i have a number of batteries where the battery leads/connectors come out the top of the battery. This makes it pretty difficult holding the battery along its centre a, would have prefered 2 straps going accross the width of the battery tray like in the original Quantum.
There's a reason HPI was king back in the day!! Hopefully they're on their way back!!
🙏
whats back in the day when?
Another great video Phil. Please bring back the sound effects with the pointer finger though. It never gets old. I'm excited that HPI is stepping back up to the plate.
Just wish it had a center diff but looks nice! As someone who also lives in the cold that body was definitely because of that. Id recommended throwing gorilla tape on the inside before anyone run it in the cold. Will help alot
Just shared this to my group as a couple of them have the original and really like them.
It’s a beast for sure 👌
Great video. It had me bustin' up 😂! That crash replay was priceless.
I like the red one only because it looks like Eddie Van Halen's guitar.
Nice review, hope it comes out at a decent price. I've got a Maverick Quantum Flux and it's great fun to drive when it's working, but I do kinda regret buying one in hindsight. Constantly breaking bits of drivetrain - be that the Diffs coming apart and slipping, shearing the centre drive shaft, stripping gears, meshing issues, or the grub screw on the centre drive shaft working it's way lose. Only ever broke one arm! Repairing any off the drive issues was always a pain, it's a pig to dismantle, need to remove 20+ screws to get to a diff.
This new truck looks way more sturdy, and from what I could see in the video, easier to work on. Not sure I'd buy one right now after the niggles I've had with the older model, but if I get back into bashing this year I'll give it a look versus the competition once we see a price.
Nice work. Those trucks stood up well to that kicking. Pretty impressed with that.
I agree… but as always, the skatepark may have won at the end haha
My original broke....I sneezed 32 Mile's away,still in bits.
Arrma big rock though still going strong.
Ftx dr8 next
After watching this video I bought this for my first RC car, it was delivered today I can't wait to get out tomorrow 😁 thanks for the review
The onboard shots look good!
Pretty awesome truck, Phil!!! 😃
Fantastic bashing and review!
I just think it needs a longer wheelie bar. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love the on-car footage! That track is very cool!
Another must have! I do believe the cold was indeed a factor. Love this beast!! Great video ‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
Agree.... and in the Summer I bet this will stand up to some really bad landings
That jump at 22:26 was amazing! I don't think it could have been smoother than that. Well done sir.
haha, I love it when a jumbo just goes almost perfectly :)... and the best ones are when they don't make a sound when the land 🥰
Hopefully they also offer the truggy version, lets hope they also do a new Quantum + version with the longer wheelbase. Followed by new versions of the 4s Quantum R on road truck along with new version of the 4s Quantum RX Rally. Lets hope !
🤞🏻
Impressive stuff mate.. entertained me during my lunchtime 😊
Haha… awesome 👌
Nice one! That jump to the little table top made me squack out loud. Nice one!
I’m new to rc cars and I never thought about the cold effecting plastic so took my mt10 out the other evening in the freezing cold landed not even a bit jump a bit on the piss and snapped a steering caster. Defo putting that down to the cold see them take 100x more than what I done lol
That little pointer cracks me up😂😂
i like the allen woodchuck makes me laugh every time
I'd like a suspension cam at this dirt track. Like you did on the video of the Gorgon laying the smack down on that Traxxass truck.
This was a cool fun vid. Ratings for ur jumps and flips. Anything 1/10 or under is too small for me tho.
Thanks mate
thats one of the best videos of you mate! made me cheer up hehe
I appreciate a good skatepark vid because we all now know exactly how strong this thing is... Great stuff Phil. Now I know I can buy one if I want and it's not going to break instantly 👍👍👍
Yes, and they do often break… but quite often it’s not the cars fault 😅
Great video as always
Cheers dude
_"Good News"_
HPI made an RC Dacia Sandero?
Haha 😂
I looked up the dealers and the closest one to me was in Andrews North Carolina. That's back up in the mountains, good excuse for a road trip.
Wow, great torture test. Awesome video
I’m VERY impressed by this new model !!!!!
Well done HPI/MAVERICK !!👍
Very curious to know the price… It can be the new RIVAL MT10……
Agree.. and at the price point, it’s close to what the MT10 was when it was first released
Nice, I loved my Quantum MT.!!
😎🤘
Great video & awesome truck. Loving the red, white & black colour scheme, Van Halen vibes there JUMP anyone, haha.
Love your videos you inspired me to get into the hobby❤
Awesome! Hope you are enjoying it so far :)
Beautiful jump!👍
Send-erella. Missed opportunity there.
Love it.
Haha… I might steal that one
Good news! HPI made a Dacia Sandero! Oh.... I guess not... Lol
Haha
i still got the mavrick flux its been great and only so far broken or lost dogbones this mihgt be my next one
" the more s,'z means more power yesss" 😂😂
Apparently!
@@TomleyRC
It was supposed to be a joke. Bcuz that's what Mr. Talbot says.
@@lukerecore I know 😉
This looks awesome. I always wanted the Flux 1, but I was put off by the reliability issues. I am definitely going to buy one of these updated ones! 😊
Rcbody armor will help preserve body even in cold weather.
22:22 HOOOOLY SHHHHHH…… BEAUTIFUL 🤩
Skatepark's RC Videos sind die besten 🎉🎉🎉weiter so gute Videos.!!!🎉🎉🎉
Yay, more HPI love! Great to see more HPI products being brought into the public eye. Although... I can hardly talk, I only own one HPI model.
And what a performer! Double-edged sword for HPI, because now they have to produce own-brand products that justify the extra price over Maverick-brand products!
Good point! Let's hope the Next 'New' HPI release is a banger!
That looks like a good solid truck mate, especially for a budget model.
Nice Truck!! Love HPI👍👍
Great video keep going on.
How can you compare it with the corally sketer and MT10 rival? thank you
Thank you for the great vid, I presume they will release a RX version like Maverick Quantum RX Flux 4S 1/8 4WD Rally Car. Does this Quantum 2 design a lot better than the old platform? I'm quite interested to get the RX Flux, but this vid gets me thinking to wait for Quanum 2 for RX. What do you think?
I’m hoping for lots more releases, but as of yet… I’ve not heard anything
Happy New Years bro
Right on I really like the Jumpshot Flux 2wd SC truck. It's a little skinny chassis, but the thing is built like a tank and only has one flaw that you already pointed out in your review. Really impressive for the money these HPI rigs!
That was awesome.
😎🤘
I have got to say that I am very impressed with your one handed driving. Love your videos , not as destructive as Kevin. lol
Yes, so great jumps from this… and o must say, there a bit of luck with the landings when I’m driving 1 handed hah
Reminds me a lot of the mr10. Nice work maverick
Yes, it would give it a good battle as well!
Very impressive! Great video... I want one!
being a old hpi racer 20 plus yrs ago. i've been hoping they would get back to truly making new rc. though not the same people , it would be nice to see them come back true not just use nos .
Love the video Phil, great work as always. I always admire the time and effect you put into your videos. The production values are top notch unlike some other RC TH-camrs who can't even get the basics of good sound and dialogue right. It's a pet peeve of mine, bad sound just ruins videos!
Anyway, regarding the Quantum 2. I hear it's going to cost 250 quid in the UK. Is that true? I hope Maverick can sell it for nearer 200 quid and then I think it will sell well! 250 is starting to get in the ball park of Rival MT10 money.
The Brushless Rivals RRP is 374.99, this is over £100 cheaper.
Appreciate it! I agree, there are some creators out there that have been on this platform longer than me that still don't do a great job at Audio and video. And there are also some lazy ones that will try and tell you they put hours of effort in... when it's pretty clear they don't. Anyway... hard work will always pay off, and I'm feeling more motivated every day.. 2024 is gonna be awesome 😎🤟
I want a truggy version of that mt thanks for sharing Phil
Yes, Truggy Version in Green for me please :)
I made the mistake of upgrading my standard Maverick Quantum XT with brushless and it ruined the drivability of it as it cannot keep it's steering wheels down and the ballooning rears give it no stability. And the constant drive shaft issues make it a shelf queen now. Hopefully a replacement Quantum2 Flux would be a bit more usable.
I have to admit I really like this truck and it’s a great price either brushed or brushless the green body and wheels look stunning to me but that’s my opinion definitely worth a look
Hay tomly I just orderd mine when u had probs with the front diff was it easy to fix or did u have to take it all apart
I am impressed with HPI. Awesome video.
Me too!
Hi Phil, what a fun truck. And a beast on 3s. You give it hell as well.😊
Yes… looking forward to doing some tests against other stuff
@@TomleyRC . I've to say the green and black for me. Looking forward to seeing more tests on it. 😀
I'm not a fan of HPI, The HPI MT Bullet Flux was very disappointing but the Maverick line up seems to be their best work. I'll look forward into purchasing this truck, thanks for the review.
What about this vs the WOV Racing truck you reviewed? Which would you go with?
Hello, can you please do a comparisson between this truck and the FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushless ? they are similar however the FTX is way cheaper. Thanks in advance and keep up the great job.
what do you use for the on-board sidecar shots? looks super-fun!
Looking to get back into the hobby and this truck looks super interesting. I wonder what the price will be. Saw it listed for just over 400 CAD on some site.
The green on green looks good nice looking truck
The red body is very Van Halen
Nice, looks good green body with black wheels for the win
Love a skatebark bash! For science reason ofcourse ❤😂
Always for Science :)
I’ve got 2 first maverick quantum and never had any issues Phil tbh .. but the newer version don’t look that much different.. shell is nice.. wheels very similar to original.. few added features.. but I am a maverick hpi fan boy so would most probably buy ..
Lots of changes, so more to do with the plastics and set up. ie lower shock towers. Chassis brace… better a arms… diffs etc
@@TomleyRC .. well glad they’ve had a chassis bar and strengthened it.. but let’s not talk to soon lol 😂
That’s a massive improvement from the last one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree... although never had the original, but saw many videos!
@@TomleyRC yep I had the first one …… still got it (in bits ) from crashing into my foot 🤣🤣there is a vid on my channel of the crash (worlds fastest maverick quantum)
Love all your videos Phil I'm front Tasmania could you possibly do some reviews on remo hobby cars?
Do you have an inside source to get the new Rlaarlo Omni Terminator early? I've been holding off buying a new small basher for it. If they don't hurry up this might take its place.
Nice! Love it!
Amazing RC Cars Jumping 😄 🚗
Thinking about getting one of these as my first RC. I was just wondering how long does a 3s 50c 5000mah last on average. Modelsport Do a bundle with 1 battery.
Hey!!! Where's the tuba when you get out the pointer? 😢
Loving the content tho! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It got lost in the transition when I was editing 🙃
@@TomleyRC for sm reason I enjoy that part of the vid as well... Bring it back😅😅😅
Mr Phil, my AVC in my infraction is correcting the wrong way… how do I reverse it??? Help!
i have the old Maverick flux it holds up well enough its not like a savage 1/8 though
What lipo did you run it on?
