DHK HOBBY 8382 Maximus 1:8 Brushless RC Monster Truck - RTR

Amazing RC car and really good Bang for the Buck here. Love the big stable wheelbase and impressive power. It may not be the fastest out there but plenty fast enough to get an awesome RC experience. Lots of torque. Right out of the box you really do not need to do anymore. Plenty good enough the way it is. However I probably will upgrade the servo to a stronger one. 9kg is working good with this car but I think a stronger one would not hurt. I might explore upgrading the tires eventually and probably upgrade to a RadioLink Controller for even better range. The controller that comes with it does work good though. Don't hesitate on either the Maximus or the Zombie. Very impressed with the beefyness of these RC cars. They spared no expense in aluminum parts and strength in the build. It comes with Lipo's. A good Buy!

Suggestion

None. The only thing I can suggest is wait for it to go on sale. You won't regret this purchase.

Model jest po prostu rewelacyjny. Wykonanie na najwyższym poziomie. Paczka szła miesiąc ale warto było zaczekać :) Jest ciut mniejszy od Traxxas Summit ale niewiele.Aluminiowe podzespoły.Model jest bardzo zrywny, stabilny na zakrętach, robi bez problemu wheelie jak dały gaz na maxa od razu.Można zmniejszyć moc na aparaturze i nauczyć się wpierw go kontrolować, a na początku jest to konieczne.Spokojnie wchodzą do niego pakiety typu hardcase.Więcej na temat modelu na mojej stronie www.franca-rc.com

Suggestion

Części zamienne wyłącznie w Chinach i długie czekanie.

Exceptional build quality! Built real tough and designed to take a beating. Good and fast too! Maybe not the fastest out there but plenty of horsepower for this guy! Would recommend 100%. I have had mine now for many months and have yet to break anything. Now I am not a basher so to speak......... but it does see some rough terrain and small jumps. I like the speed, low center of gravity. wide stance and firm hug to the ground performance. Batteries are alright too......... but an upgrade would for sure give you longer running time.

Suggestion

The only think I can think of is lock tight the when nuts, motor mount and make sure all the screws are tight before running this beast.

The DHK Maximus 1/8 scale 4x4 monster truck, big brother to the DHK Zombie(but not by much), looks like it will be one TUFF TRUCK! It’s looks very similar to its little brother in the looks but is laid out very different running 2 3200mah 7.4v lipo 20c batteries in series vs it’s little brother running 1 11.1v lipo. It really looks like DHK has put some time and thought into this vehicle and really have out done themselves! I really love all the beautiful orange aluminum parts and underbody. This thing has a ton of hex screws holding it together and I have to believe it can take some punishment and keep coming back for more!

Suggestion

I have yet to find anything I don’t like about this vehicle. Thanks to Gearbest for the best price around and fast shipping! And DHK for hitting another home run!

Якість відмінна! Дуже задоволений. Прикрутив колеса та поїхав))) Акумулятори заряджені, потужність повна. Перевірив як затягнуті гвинти на шасі, два зірвана різьба, два не затягнуті. Загалом зібрано дуже якісно.

Suggestion

У інструкції по користуванню на вказано які мастила використовувати при заправці амортизаторів та диференціалів? Чому відсутні шестигранні ключі у комплектації? Занадто довга доставка компанією IML. Але прийшло неушкоджене та гарно запаковано!

Speed is great and acceleration is insane, first run i did was on snow and ice and it still accelerates great due to tires that is as good as the engine. All the old electonic issues that older versions had seams totally gone sins they upgraded to hobbywing electronics. Chassie is capable of withstanding almost anything.

Suggestion

Buy locktight, spare clips and possibly a spare body directly, Wheelnuts have to be locktighted or they fall of really easie. And the M12 fine is hard to come by so spare wheel nuts is nice also, clips always fall of on any car so spares of thouse is standard, and as the car is so easie to bash and can take about anything your body will break sooner or later. I´d say of the above, it´s just the Wheel Nuts falling of that is the only tru con with the car.

Ready to use out of the box. Great RC for a great price. Very very durable, easy to handle. Massive amount of metal parts. I have been bashing it for 3 months now and nothing has happened. I recommend it over JLB ald VKAR, it is very well made.

Suggestion

Buy loctite (this is a must!) becouse many screws came lose. This is the only one issue I had with this car. The rest is perfect.

Nice big truck. Fast delivery with only around 9 days to my country Malaysia. Packaging is simple but no damage and perfect condition. Gearbest is the best

Suggestion

Not yet bashing outside but she look quite tuff to go some crazy thing

The parts came broken. I can not think of an advantage. but the car looks very big and strong. ... ..

Suggestion

The rear wheel screw was not tightened, so one screw was broken. Shipping is the worst. the box was squashed, and the contents were broken.
