- What will it take to get this Maverick Quantum Flux R 4s race truck to 100kph?
Iv installed a 20t pinion, made a few small changes and added some DIY stuff and hopefully we can get this thing to at least 100kph, more would be nice😅
First speedrun and bash test.
• Quantum Flux R 4s truc...
Gray version.

that sounds fast ... love the way it whistles along
It has got a nice sound, I think with different wheels and getting closer to 100kph it will sound even better😁👍
Sounds amazing! I paniced a bit whith that first crash! Glad it didnt roll! Leonart did a good job filming too 😁🤘
I think it will sound even better with some speed wheels on it😁
Yeah scary couple of spins!
And yes Lennart is a great little camera man👌
Such an awesome looking truck ! Looking forward to seeing you get it to 100km .... i never use and normally hate gyro but i got a Gt5 for mine and it helped the rear stay straight
Thanks mate👊
100kph should be achieved with the next few mods hopefully🤞
Yeah im the same with gyros, iv never used them, can't stand them, but there were times I questioned my decision not to use them😅
Hopefully the mods help the stability, new wheels and better servo should help.
Great video. Looks like it's turning into a great speed truck
Thanks Tim🙂
Yeah its a great platform for speedrun experimenting, new wheels and a super plush servo should help the stability a lot.
More teeth on the pinion for speed👌😅
Hi Bud, This is a rocket for its size and weight and not to mention its boxy body , i love the truck and am so glad i bought one dont care what others say this is a fun and a awesome platform for what you pay on sale at crazy hobbies i paid $400 aud and im really enjoying this i may change out the radio as i too was getting signal loss in certain area's about the same distance you where at around 25-30 meters thanks for great content liked & subbed cheers bud 🙂
Thank you so much Andrew😁
Yes they are great rigs, honestly to me it feels very similar to a Infraction just lighter and a bit slower, acts very similar.
And as you said for the price it's definitely worth it!
But yes the radio system isn't the greatest when talking signal.
DumboRC system is the go👌
Thanks again Andrew🙏
Looking good mate 👍
Thanks mate👊
Should be able to push the stock system to 100kph🤞
That is badass rc bro
😅 they are sweet rigs, great fun👌
Excellent video as usual bro!
These 1/8 Mavericks are really worth every cent, I'm lucky enough to have a couple. The Rally version is a absolute brute. As you pointed out though bro in one of your vids, The front drive cups assembly should be checked before running the first time as the grub screw is not locked in and will fall out. I also reinforced the body with 2 cans of Rustoleum Rubber Spray from Boonings and man what a difference it made!
Other than that Ive yet to have any issues with them.
Same with the muscle car version of this one. The other thing is I put a Dumbo system in them and activated the gyro. Huuuge difference. 90kph+ reliably on a 100c Zeee 8000mAh. (shorty)
They are fast, Reasonably priced and will certainly put a smile on ya dial and thats what its all about ay
Thanks man, Take care 🤪💯🤙
Thanks mate👍
They are very affordable and so much better than a lot of people make out they are, as you said no major issues whatsoever other than loctiting the grubs👌
Your not going to like this though, I sold it yesterday, I kinda had to though, 100% needed the money😕
Try and get another one one day, save and get the next to be released version maybe.
@@rccrazy Aww man, I know that feeling, You should had sold it to me bro n I woulda given it back. But yeah bro.. We should expect some good cars out of HPI soon since their financial rescue early this year.
I reckon hang in there and see what they bring out mate. Like yourself, we have the big name stuff but its good to find these cheaper options that give the same fun factor. I just wish more people could understand that bit.
You take of yourself my friend, Will catch up again. Take it easy man 👍
@300-PRC how would I have sold it to you, do I know you in person?
Apologies if I do, these profile names get confusing😅
But yes I'm looking forward to whatever HPI releases in the near future hopefully, the Vorza is amazing!
And thanks👍
@@rccrazy Nah mate ..I thought about that after i posted it hahah.. I'm in WA bud, Waiting for the bloody weather to heat up. RC cars in the winter, then out come the boats 🙂
Hopefully get my 1m waypoint mission boat working this year. Running over 4G. We gave up last year as it was doing our head in but have been yakkin to a bloke in the USA who has been helpful. Hopefully a full send up the coast to be collected over 1000km's away.
The things we do ay 🤣👍
Magic hands. Nice fixes
Thanks😁
I love making and modding👌
Nice one mate.!
Stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland.! 😜 👍 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚙 🚗 🚓 🚐 🚕!
😅 emoji madness🤘
Thanks mate👊
Great vid Saul. Nearly there on the 100km. Might need that rear wing for the downforce. How are the tyres?, did you change them or are they the originals.
Cheers man👊
Yeah it definitely isn't the most stable car but I think a few mods will help, one being wheels.
They were the stock wheels and they are a little slippery.
And a high quality servo I think will do the trick, the stock one isn't bad but there are much better ones available👌
Great speed for 4s, definitely looks like a fun car! Is the audio in this video just from the internal mic on your Gopro, or do you use another microphone? Cheers.
Thanks👍
Definitely a great result, 100kph shouldn't be to much to chase.
The audio is just the GoPro mic but I want to get an external mic I'm just not sure what I'm looking for.
Just pre ordered one of these , as not in the UK yet ,
Awesome run guys,
What lights are you using as I've been looking for the same thing as I don't want the usuall round leds , want add some to my big rock
Thanks mate👍
Nice, im sure you'll enjoy it👌
I just buy the 12v strip lights from any hardware/home repair store, they are much cheaper than RC products and easy to cut, stick and solder wherever you want.
Almost there 👍 Maybe a 22 toot will get it to 100kph 🤷♂️ It does seem to be a great basher 🤩
Iv ordered a 24t and 25t, maybe too much you think😅
Yeah its a great road basher but not so much of a speed demon yet🤪
Cheers man👊
impressive, am thinking of getting one in UK. Are you still enjoying your one? 👍🍺🇬🇧
Sadly I had to sell mine due to lack of funding but I would totally get another if I had the cash spare, they are definitely worth the lowish price👌
I am using China hobby line 120c 5600 mAh lipo I highly recommend them
Got a few CNHL lipos but not for this car at the moment.
I got 55mph on 20t pinion and those Team Infinity slick tires we talked about before..Running two Yome 4s batteries in parallel
Yeah that seems about right👌
The problem with comparing speedruns is there are so many variables that come into play, road surface, tyres, lipo health, shocks and everything else😅
@@rccrazy I agree
I think even if we both had identical setups just the temperature/climate would give us different speeds, maybe🤷♂️😆
@@rccrazy The wheels I was running are bigger and two batteries helps also
Nice runs and mods mate, maybe needs gearing up a bit more to hit that 100kph
Cheers man👍
Yeah im waiting on a few pinions but I'm not sure how many more teeth will fit without modding the motor mount🤔
Cool video thumbs up how did you make out on the full tude on your shocks
Thanks👍
Sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean by full tude
Fuel tube I mentioned sorry
Oh yeah on the Kraton, I got one Kraton vid still to upload from like a week ago and haven't taken it for another bash yet but I'm keen to see how that goes absolutely👌
Thanks again for the tip👍
Mine is doing dead on 100 kph with 20 tooth and a X team 4074 2500 kV the stock motor with 20 tooth did 86 kph
Yeah im seeing what I can get the stock system upto then I'll have a play around with 6s I think, got a nice 3674 8s motor to try👍
Is this stock with a change pinion?
Yes the only change was the pinion👌
@@rccrazy where did you purchase the pinion gear please
It would've been from Hobbies Direct, I get all my stuff locally, Australian sellers.
I can get the link or just search mod1 5mm pinion gears online, you will find one as they are everywhere.
Downforce is a serious problem with these trucks
Try a 35t Speed spool and 24t pinion
On stock motor😬
It was well over a comfortable temp and that's not even 1/1 ratio, no way I'd run that gearing on the stock system without dual gamechangers or better!
I run it on mine, stock everything except Pinion n spool for 59 Mph
@@donaldwilson6209 I'm surprised that gearing works at all.
Mine was starting to cog and getting bad lipo sag on my gearing, your car wouldn't move🤔
Only issue I have is a stripped out grub screw on the ball cup
Oh ok
Think I'll stick with ARRMA
Yeah mate nobody is telling you to buy but one😅
Thanks for checking out my vid though especially if you don't like them😊👍
@@rccrazy Gold! 🤙
That sucks on 4s
Well it's not really a speed car, it's not bad for bashing😁
This truck looks so generic cheap looking looks like they were trying to copy a nother RC truck 🤔👎
Ok but it is cheap, the shell can be changed and some people actually do like them.
Thanks for your input though👍
