FAQs for Maverick
Maverick is specifically designed for newcomers to RC, so yes — it's genuinely one of the best ways to get into the hobby. The Quantum series comes fully ready-to-run with battery, charger and radio included, meaning you can unbox, charge and drive the same day. Controls are beginner-friendly without being boring, and the trucks are built tough enough to survive the inevitable learning-curve crashes. Perfect for gifts, first RCs, or anyone wanting fun bashing without the complexity of a hobby-grade build.
Maverick sits under the HPI Racing umbrella, which means you get proper hobby-grade engineering at an entry-level price. Unlike cheap toy-grade RCs, Maverick trucks use standard servo formats, replaceable electronics and real hobby-standard parts — so when you outgrow stock, you can upgrade rather than replace. The Quantum series offers waterproof electronics, 4WD performance and genuine off-road capability. It's the sweet spot between toy-grade simplicity and full hobby complexity, making it a great pathway into the wider RC scene.
Yes — we stock Maverick Quantum models and a full range of spare parts in our Australian warehouse, including body shells, suspension arms, gears, shocks, batteries and chargers. Because Maverick is engineered with hobby-grade replaceable parts, keeping one running is straightforward, and local stock means quick delivery across Australia when something breaks. That's a big deal for first-time buyers who want to keep their new RC moving rather than waiting weeks for an overseas replacement part to arrive.
The Quantum series is Maverick's flagship and by far the most popular lineup — available as a monster truck, short-course truck, flatbed XT and rally variants, all sharing the same proven 4WD platform. The Quantum MT is a perennial favourite for first-time bashers thanks to its tough construction and lively driving character. The Quantum XT truggy and Quantum Rally also pull strong sales, each offering a slightly different style of driving on the same reliable chassis.
