Hobby Plus 1/18 CR 18P PRO Brushless Juice Up 4X4 RTR Rock Crawler - Red

One of the best out of the box RTR crawler on the market currently. The performance is phenomenal.

Cool little rc. Will go just about any where you send it.

Great performance value! Really hard to be disappointed. Even the stock tires are surprisingly good, not aftermarket good, but still. I have my minor gripes but would highly recommend to a friend.

So much fun to drive. Its got all the upgrades you need for that slow crawl.

I had some problems that I resolved so I want to update my review. This performs really well out of the box stock. You can turn it into a monster just by trimming the stock foams inside the tires.

Probably the best out of the box performance of any RTR crawler.

I jumped on the sale and was glad I did! I have many rtr 24's and 18's, and built Rippers, as well as a built TRX4M and this one was amazing right out of the box! Once I installed a 3 channel Flysky FS-A3 rx and did a bind to my Flysky Gt5, it really came alive in how much more smooth it becomes. I am 100% satisfied for what was advertised, and it only gets better! Can't wait to run it this weekend again, I even brought it to work today for may lunch break! Great job Hobby Plus and thank you Direct RC for all the fantastic offerings and service!

This is a great crawler out of the box, it climbs better than some of my modded rigs. The design and layout is well thought out and was done with LCG and proper weight distribution in mind. The drivetrain has excellent low speed with torque and overcomes obstacles with ease. Seems well made and
I have really been enjoying it as my first brushless rig. My one concern is that during the first battery pack it twisted the universal joint out of the rear yoke (all plastic except for one pin). Was disappointed because the driveshaft small center section went missing, so even though I could repair the u-joint the rig was dead in the water until new parts could be received. This is a reported problem along with some folks having transmission issues (broken gear teeth). As this brushless system is powerful, one will need to keep an eye on things, hopefully upgraded parts will be available. Don’t let this deter you though, you cannot get a better rig for crawling without spending more money on a rig and upgrades.

Is this any good? I have the rest of mini crawlers for sale now. The only mods so far:

Injora wheels and 70mm tires and yellow inserts that heavily cut.
This articulates almost as good as a 1/10 scale.
I have some brass otw.
Bad ass rig!

I’m really impressed by how well it performs out the box. Still not as capable as a fully modded unit but I’m sure once I do some upgrades, this will be one of the best performing mini crawlers one can buy.
