Hello everyone! I just wanted to keep you updated about my humble project since I am a beginner. I ended up with a different choice that seemed to be better for a MT: 2300 kV motor + 80A ESC. I replaced the old stock ones and everything worked fine at bench-test. Last weekend I went for the off road test using 3s batteries but it has been very short because I lost the front left driveshaft after just 1 min 😵‍💫. Today I will get the spare parts and I hope to run the car during the weekend .🤞 Anyway I would say that it's really cool to get dirty hands working on these toys! Cheers!

Well...I like speed too much! I will "dowgrade" to 2s if I will have too many breakages. Last Saturday I replaced the stock spur gear (plastic-broken) with a steel one. Yesterday I went for a short bashing to test it and a small stone went into the spur/pinion bay: car started to slow down and I just drove it back to my direction and motor gave up....It seems the stone got stuck between the bay area and the spur gear---car started to run slow and 80 meters have been enough to kill the motor. Destiny says I must change the motor!

Thanks mate. I feel relieved about the possibility to test it with a smaller battery Love this forum. I am getting already a lot of helpful advices. Thank you all.

Hello! I ended up to buy a Surpass motor 3600 kV and a 120A ESC. I read that for off-road + 3s lipo motor should be >= 13,5 T that is around 3500kV. About the ESC a friend suggested me to take a oversized one just to stay safe. About the battery I plan to have 7000 mAh and 60c. Since I am a beginner we will see if I am the lucky one who picked up a cool combination or if I will destroy everything 🤪( that can be part of the learning process). I found all these stuff on AliExpress ... at least I have not wasted too much £££ in case of total disaster. Let's keep the finger crossed. 🤞 I should get everything within 15 days except batteries those will arrive much later. Do you think I could make a test using a 2500 mAh 25c 3S Lipo? (I would not run the model with this...just a quick check if everthing runs smootly on the workbench). Real road test will happen when I will get the proper batteries 😎. Wish you a wonderful week!

Hi Tommy Thank you for your reply. That means that 4000 kV motor with combo 60A esc is not OK for offroad drive using 3s batteries? I am very confused and almost giving up with the upgrade and to get the quantum2 flux instead (that handles 2s and 3s....) Just pity to leave my quantum MT since it has no more than 30 hours of usage. Silly me I listened the seller who said that's enough to have fun. No way!!! It's too slow for me! On the other hand I found a guy here who sells a Traxxas e-Revo 2.0 with customized body (almost urun conditions) for around +50 GBP more than a brand new Q2 flux ... I am a bit scared to buy it since I am new to hobby but it seems a good deal. Maybe a bit too much for a beginner??? Now I really don't know what to do. Any input? Wish you all a nice Sunday.

Thank you buddy. It's time for me to learn from you all!

Hello I am newbie and I got myself a Maverick Quantum MT as first car just few months . Too bad I listen the seller's advice and I did not go for the brushless version. The car is too slow for me. 😆 I am planning to change the configuration from brushed to brushless using the Razer 1/10 Brushless Combo 60A 3652 4000kV di Hobbywing. My biggest concern came when I read the motor specs. To be sharp I can't understand this part: Motor limit: 2S Onroad: 3650cc motor, >=5.5T 2S Offroad: 3650 motor, >=8.5T 3S Onroad: 3650 engine, >=9T 3S Offroad: 3650 motor, >=13T What does it mean? I plan to bash using 3s batteries....but I can't figure out if the lines above imply any limitations or not. My second doubt is if I need to change also the servo or if I can keep the stock one. Thank you everyone who will spend his precious time to blow away all my doubts!

Hello fellows! I am new to hobby and I found this website extremely intriguing and complete. Can't find anything comparable and I decided to join the community. I also noticed that coolest posts about RC cars on YouTube are mostly coming from UK. So here I am! I hope you will forgive me if my English is not perfect but, as it stated on headline, I am not writing from UK 🙃 Kind regards to everyone.
