    It’s going to be a long time before some company comes out with a car that gives you the bang for buck that the 14303 does. I’m getting one in a couple of weeks. It’ll be my first electric RC car. I used to do nitro back in the day.

    That’s odd . I’ve beaten the tar out of my Maverick version 2 nothing has broke yet (except for slipper needing adjustment), and I’d say it’s as tough as my Team Ass ‘td rival mt-10 which I run the same way and have and have broke a front control arm. Both are tough asnails in my opinion and very bash worthy in their perspective catagories. Love all my MJX’s too. My fav is the 14209. As always great fun video guys!

      I saw so many reviews showing it to be more durable than it was in mine. But, sometimes it just happens that way. Many didn't think the MAXX Slash was durable, but we found it to be nearly indestructible.

    Awesome video! Put some UpGrade RC Dirt Claw 2.8 on the Quantum 2 and it will hook and go. Not sure if it will traction roll racing plus it might break shafts faster. Wonder if the Quantum 2 needs diffs shimmed or is diff housing flexing.

      @@Rek_Rc Unfortunately you have to review what you experience with a product. Something changed. Never saw harden shafts snap so easily on a ten scale. Either in bind, the gears slipping and reengaging under power or bad metal mix. I would say the sloppy gears. Perhaps a diff bearing bit the dust or case has a crack.

    I have beat my Fireteam absolutely to death. I have went through 3 motors but same ESC I have treated it like I stole it. The only things that go through are the pinions and wheel bearings. For the maverick to perform amazingly its just so weak in crucial areas. I will be modifying soon.

    I just got the citroen shell for my 14301, it arrived, and that night my ESC died.
    runs the motor for a second before thermal shutdown. i've had it for a year so ordered a slightly smaller esc for it, can still deal with that motor.
    my biggest problem has been with the left steering post, i really wish the steering mechanism sat on bearings, i've been thru a few steering sets, along with the steering links. but otherwise its been solid.
    the tpr tires wear insantly on tarmac. the rubber ones are better, but it starts to get pricey if you want to run on tarmac. such a weird wheel size, does ANYONE know what other wheels fit?

      ​@@Rek_Rc yeah that happens offroad, but this car is so fun onroad (and curbs etc). The plastic steering parts break, and the metal ones deform and become loose. The left wheel ends up flopping all about the place, the car still steers, but trim gets a bit tricky
