The CR18P is a staple of the HobbyPlus brand. Just two years into the platform, we are on our 3rd iteration due to the constant evolution of the 1/18 crawler market. Our customers’ feedback along with a lofty desire to stay at the forefront of the market, these refinements create an exciting new package that propels the CR18P, yet again, to a top contender in the 1/18 market and all at a lower price!
The heart of any crawler has to be the power system. Let’s face it, without a strong/ dependable/flexible power system the experience of the chassis would not be as enjoyable. This is why we’ve partnered with Hobbywing to push the voltage range from 2S and 3S. This is a huge update as the 3S capable system offers an array of power options for different driving styles and terrains.
Another key upgrade to the V3 is 27% under drive in the rear axle through the ring and pinion gear. Some may consider the front axle as overdrive in this case, naturally, as that’s the common language used. Technically they’re right, but we call it underdrive as the front axle is the same gearing as the 2024 version. All this to say that the faster rotation of the front drive and slower rotation of the rear drive creates more “suction” to the surface below creating a more planted, predictable and capable ascents.
Lastly, and probably the most attractive new feature of the CR18P V3, is the price. At just $159.99 MAP for a complete RTR portal axle with full metal gears, this might be the most compelling ready-to-run scale crawler on the market.
While the new features define the difference of the CR18P V3, the core of the platformretains all of the features it is known for:
Portal Axles - Supreme clearance over traditional straight axles - Multiple gear ratios available as aftermarket support Full metal gear drivetrain including the single speed EVO transmission - Super strong sintered gears throughout the transmission, axles and portal hubs HD Driveshafts - increase durability Oil-Filled, threaded big bore shocks - Linear tuning ability threaded shock collars - Rebuildable Counter-rotating rear driveshaft - To minimize torque twist SOA (Servo on Axle) - Precise steering performance Full metal geared transmission (gear box, front & rear axle) - Maximum durability to handle brushless power Super clearance 5-degree skid plate - Creates added clearance in the rear portion of the wheelbase to aid in clearance of large obstacles and overhangs.
