Helidirect HobbyPlus 1 18 RC Crawler - CR-18P PRO Brushless Juice Up Edition RTR w HBW Electronics 2

Update: I have used it officially and man, the best crawler out the box or in general in my opinion. For the price havens down for sure it is. I did throw some new tires on it and that’s made the best difference. I also lowered the shocks 2 holes and more flex. I have a pic of the stick and new wheels. New little wider and more grip. Stick is not bad at all Wow! This thing is awesome. Best ready to run for the money! Can’t beat the price and quality! Hobby wing electronics separate Receiver not the 2-1 like the other small scale stuff. It’s really capable. The best crawler Ive had out the box a lot of suspension travel and steering. Packed with to many features to list seriously.. Con- Only thing I don’t like are the wheels. Tires seem to be ok but the wheels looked cheap. The body ehh seen better styles and quality. The body post kinda cheap look like it’ll break easy. But really that’s it. Just little stuff that’s really not that big of a deal and I would consider just being picky lol. It has some slop on the wheels when you move it love and forth but it don’t seem to matter when crawling. And the servo I wish was just slightly better but that’s it. Read more

Most complete and performance you can get right out of the box. Helidirect knocked it out of the park with this one. All metal, sealed bearings, brushless, portals, RTR and at a price much less than the big named competition with inferior components. If you want durability and performance right out of the box, this is your crawler. Just buy one. You won’t regret it. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I got this to introduce my son to RC‘s and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The CR 18 P juice edition is a nine out of 10 straight out the box.. I had it for about a week and I already got a ton of upgrades on the way I wasn’t planning on spending money on any upgrades, but I like this thing so much I want to juice it up a little more. The brushless motor that comes with it is perfect. You don’t need to buy any aftermarket kit unless you plan on doing serious competitions and even then stock brushless motor and ESC will work fine. The 3s 11.1v battery that comes with it is also a bonus, it last pretty long and has plenty of power. Only downside is the micro losi plug makes it impossible to buy another one with more mah u can buy one with another plug and solder on a losi micro but i plan on just buying another stock battery for a back up.The only con I would say is that it’s a little harder getting aftermarket parts for it then the bigger brands like red cat or Traxxas. Great little crawler you will be happy with your purchase if u get one. Read more

This truck is great right out of the box! I charged it up and was running lines that my 18th and 24th scale trucks hard a hard time or just couldn't do at all. This truck just walked up them. I had to change up my home course just to work this truck. The 27% under drive makes a big difference. I wouldn't use this for a trail truck but if you want to up your crawling game I highly recommend it. Put a set of pin tires and a bit more low brass up front and it would be unstoppable! Read more

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have Axial ax24 xc-1. Love it but with upgrades that I did made it good, but with money them rigs can be AWESOME. I wanted bushless. Wow. I paid $161 with tax,Thanks. Now here comes more upgrades for this rig because you have to make it your own. Factory RTR great, but who ever stops at stock. Read more

It’s exactly as advertised. This little truck is super capable and is ready to impress out of the box. Shipping was extremely fast. I ordered it on Friday and it was sitting at my front door Saturday afternoon. I’m just getting into the RC crawling hobby and decided to get this as a starter before I spend $500-$800 on a 1/10 scale rig. I’m super glad I took that route because this thing comes out of the box with all of the upgrades you would want to perform on a stock crawler. The Hobbywing motor and electronics allow you to get some crazy slow crawl speeds. With just a minor adjustment on the radio, slow crawl speeds become easily achieved. I took it out yesterday for the first time and, even in rainy conditions, it conquered every line I put it on. The included 3s lipo has a crazy long run time to be so tiny. It also gives you that extra wheel speed needed to hop some obstacles. If you are like me and just getting started, I highly recommend this truck. You will not be disappointed Read more

I swapped out the wheels and tires to get some weight down low and it crawls even better than it did out of the box. Read more

5 minutes of fun before the transfer case gears failed. I have raced at pro level for years and this is the worst I have ever seen for durability. I only bought this unit after being told how great the customer service is after a buddy had his catch fire and no questions was replaced immediately. The response I got was go ahead and tear it apart and then send pictures and they will see about the needed parts. Customer service- not at all! Read more
