About Maverick
What it stands for
HPI calls the 12-turn, 550-size brushed motor "the workhorse of the Maverick RC fleet" and "the perfect introduction to RC driving for most people," a "low-maintenance way to just 'plug and go' for hours of fun."7
Product portfolio
Maverick sells only ready-to-run models, from 1/24 Microbe buggies and short course trucks to the 1/8 QuantumR muscle car and race truck and the QuantumRX rally car. The 1/10 Quantum family covers XT stadium trucks and MT monster trucks, through the Quantum+ and the redesigned Quantum2.7 Most models come in a brushed version and a brushless Flux version, and the Quantum line was the first Maverick range fitted with HPI's FLUX brushless system.9
