Maverick QByte: 1/12 brushless short course trucks and buggies
The QByte is Maverick’s 1/12 scale 4WD brushless platform – bigger than the 1/16 Qbit, yet small enough for indoor tracks. Every QByte runs a composite tub chassis with shaft-driven 4WD, independent double wishbone suspension, aluminium oil-filled threaded coilover shocks, a 228mm wheelbase and splashproof electronics with a 2.4GHz 4-channel radio. It comes in two body styles, the SC short course truck and the low-slung XB buggy, each as a Flux with a 2S LiPo and USB charger included or a Pro with a 4700KV motor and HD machined steel drivetrain for 80km/h on 3S.

Which QByte should I choose?
Pick the body first: the SC short course truck for a wide, planted stance and clipless body mounting, or the XB buggy for a lower, race-style profile with 8.5mm aluminium shock towers. Then pick the power. A Flux comes with a 7.4V 1600mAh LiPo and USB charger and reaches 38km/h, so it is the one to choose if you want to run it the day it arrives. A Pro steps up to a 4700KV motor, 3S-capable ESC and HD machined steel differentials for 80km/h, but you supply the 3S LiPo and charger, so it suits drivers who already have them.
Spares are in Maverick spare parts. For a smaller truck see the Qbit 1/16 monster trucks, the Microbe 1/24 buggies and trucks, or the Maverick Scout-24.

Yes. Every QByte arrives built with the 2.4GHz transmitter. The Flux models also include a 2S LiPo and USB charger; the Pro models need a 3S LiPo and charger of your own.
