HobbyPlus 1/18 CR 18P V3 Brushless Rushmore 4X4 RTR Rock Crawler - Metalic Cyan
Introducing The New Refresh CR-18P V3
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 platform retains 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.
Aggressive shock and link geometry
- Great crawling performance promised out of the box
Low center of gravity minded design
- LCG chassis design with rear 5degree kick up to make sure it is planted
1.2” Beadlock Wheels
- Easy access & maintainance
60mm Super-Soft Mudder Tires
- Performance proven in multi terrain
Tilt body (Trail Hunter)
- Easy access to electronics
LED lights front and rear
- Crawl & fun from day to night
Scale detail throughout
- Plastic molded body plastic parts for maximum scale appearance
Fly Sky Radio System
- Stable & great performance out of the box
Waterproof Electronics
- Non stop having fun in & outdoor
