Sorry for the reload guys! I had made a mistake on the measurements of the truck when talking about how low profile it is in the 1st video. Meant for this one to be uploaded and accidentally uploaded the wrong one lol
Finally a company that understands how we want to drive these things! What a well thought out RTR, well done Hobbyplus 👏
In the last year so many great trucks have come out. This one is definitely looking like a ringer for 1:18 scale rtr of the year! Second place would probably go to the FMS LC 80 for me.
People been sleepin on hobbyplus. I tried to tell everyone how good the 18p was. If Calvin wouldn’t have ghosted me when I reached out, I would have pro’ly gone all in on the 18p slayers. They were killer and being able to build it out of the box was awesome. This new rig looks amazing for an rtr. Great video brother.
Highly informative video as always. Thanks for all you do for us . Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Awesome back flip, well as always appreciate you sure catch you on the next one. You and the family have a great holiday keep it fun keep it safe oh yeah the room for dessert after dinner
That's a crazy amount of torque twist for a rig with portals! Also, those Hyrax/Swamper hybrid tires look fantastic and have a ton of potential. Kudos to them on the overall build, it looks like a fantastic RTR.
So stoked on this one! This is going to be the game changer I was hoping the Fury Wagon would be! 😍🙌🔥
Dude I'm way impressed. Hobby Plus has really come out of the gate swinging. I might grab that hobby plus frame and drop it into my furiwagon... or my 18p 🤔
I like the rig. But most of all I actually learn some things watching you content. Great job.
Really glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🙏
Genuinely impressed with this small rtr. Damn good review as well
Really appreciate that!
Excellent review. Did already order one on asiatees. Hopefully it will reach me soon here in Switzerland.
Hobby Plus is just releasing banger after banger!
Thanks for the video! I kind of hope that chassis becomes available to swap into my FX118!
I need this in my life
I’m definitely going to pick one up with the Furitek I have the Fury & FMS 1:18 Landcruiser & the FMS Blazer.
Great 👍🏻 review of the little beast. Thanks again sir
Thanks! It’s a pretty sweet rtr for sure
Yeah Matt love the looks of that body, Yep I’m here watching Tuesday 7:07 PM
Oh I like it looks to perform great, really like the looks of that body and that color
This looks to be an amazing rig from Hobbyplus.
I've seen so much hatred for this body, I think it looks fantastic I will definitely be picking a few of them up for future builds.
Really?! My main attraction is the body haha.
Damn, this looks good... Back in my day, we had to buy a Deadbolt and upgrade it ourselves!! Thanks for the video!
Yeah no kidding! I kinda miss it. Making your own parts etc
It looks really cool. I would still probably be inclined to put a bit smaller wheels on it and if necessary move the shocks to compensate. But it is really impressive out of the box - it does not scream for better EDC/motor - as many other small scale crawlers do.
fantastic video as always! out of curiosity, does the pro shell fit on the fury wagon?? thank u in advance!
I think this thing is going to take the market over bro
I instantly bought this off of your channel I went through the link down there cuz I couldn't find it nowhere else anyway I think this is absolutely the best looking RTR I have ever seen
Yeah that’s the only place I’ve seen it so far! I’m not an affiliate with them but they’ll still see where ya came from. Appreciate ya checking it out and picking one up. Hope you love it!
asiatees have brushed and brushless versions in stock@@2fmrc
That's a great rtr for sure. I'd like to get one.
Another great one bro
Wow!!! This is amazing. I’m a strict custom scx24 guy, but I really am impressed with this and would love to get one. Maybe after Christmas 😂
Yeah these rtrs are getting so good it’s spoiling me a bit. I don’t even like building custom trucks anymore 😆 Too easy to just make one of these perform lol
Just bought the new MEUS MB24 chassis. This one in the brushless option is the next ticket.
Aye yo that incline is crazy
Just ordered mine from asiatees. I got the rock lizzard brushkess edition. Trying to find HC links now. Thanks for the content
Another great review Matt! This thing looks legit. RTR comp Crawler out of the box. Question tho... How many times... If ever do both front shocks get compressed all they way? I've personally never witnessed it. Have you?
Rarely ever I’d say. Maybe when launching up something and the front takes a hit but it’s hard to really see to know. I sometimes like for my rear to hit something like that and not squat all the way. Helps with vertical climbs. As long as you have the twist left to right it’ll still flex fine lol
I actually have every single hobby plus RTR truck from them 😊! I actually like them. Another one I need in the collection!!😁
I love this truck! So hard not to buy it. I think the body looks GREAT. Can you tell us if the body will fit the body posts on the EVO Harvest?
Oops, i shared the first one. Haha, I'm super stoked you got one, and i watched the whole first video. Second reshared
Really appreciate that. Sorry! Just wanted to make sure the #s were correct lol
Awesome looking and performing rig! It is hard to tell how much dampening the rear (R) shock provided in the video. Preload the rear right spring about 1/8 to 1/4 inch to keep the (F) driver-side wheel down on steep climbs.
I just said the same thing yesterday on a video dealing with the EXO chassis
Right. No cost tuning…
I ordered one. Not sure if it was through your affiliate link cause I opened the app.
It will be my Sons, well dial it in so he can run with my buddy who has the Furytech
Thank you for the video, I’m curious to see the parts available for this from the aftermarket.
If we could get one in a plastic or carbon fiber case- ideally cheaper that would be awesome. Coming with everything including the TX would be an amazing plug and play option.
I’ve been waiting for this one, found the truck on accident looking for something completely different. And couldn’t find any videos about it yet.
You the man!!!! Been waiting for you to review this just ordered mine and my pops today for Christmas woot!! quick question what part would I have to buy to fix the torque twist ?
NVM I'm dumb I rewatches that part the whole axle lol I understand now 😂 thanks I appreciate you Matt happy holidays and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
@@HaasesHighlife yeah the way they made that rear axle allows the rear ring gear to be flipped which is needed when using the other output shaft on the transmission. You can also just try loading the front shock with preload and that may help some. I’m gonna go with heavier wheels and try that to see if it helps
@@2fmrc thanks Matt I appreciate those tips!!
It’s funny we buy these then have to fix the flaws but there isn’t one perfect RC regardless of $ we always find things to improve I can’t wait to see what people do to them before I get one. 👍
I need this body and frame to swap my fx118 lol It shares so much with the FX118 though that I don't think I can justify picking one up. Wait for the next leap in RTRs.
HI! Awesome video! Is it possible to run the cr18p evo pro on 3s? It is not clear to me reading the specs as the lizard and the motor seem capable to handle 3s, but still they recommend to use them on 2s...
I want the brushless one that comes with the furitek system
What a beast RTR, crossing fingers for a brushless 2 speed version in the near future 🤔
asia tees do a furitek brushless version..i just ordered one.
It would be my only 1/18 but I want it. I would put smaller tires on it though.
I'm starting to like brushless more, honestly, they just break less. It's hard to hand the remote of a brushless rig to a friend or a kid, because something could easily snap if they get the car jammed up.
And i just got the fury wagon on Black Friday 😂 wonder if the chassis would interchange.
I'm glad you got the brushed cuz we already know about the venom. Furitek just announced their version of this with a 7 degree skid and a ugly half cab (I actually like it)
Yeah I couldn’t get that body off quick enough 😆 Idk what they’ve got going on but they need some new designs. Thats the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen lol
Wait, where did you see that?
@@theskeptik1 facebook. They posted a pic of it
So size wise. How does it compare to the fcx24 blazer or comp wagon? And also how does it compare to the lgrp ripper in size and proformance?
When are they releasing this beauty?
I like it !
So have they said they are definitely coming out with the rear end to off-set the torque twist?
Thanks again Matt for the straight shootin'
They said they were. Have to see how long it is. Furitek already made it for the fury wagon which is the same exact axles.
@@2fmrcdid they release the axle yet? I’m having a hard time finding any axle with the ring on the left side.
@@Calcapwn300 I gotcha 🤘 it ain’t cheap though 🤦🏻♂️
www.helidirect.com/en-ca/products/hobbyplus-machine-aluminum-rear-axle-v2
Are the holes in the frame for skid the same as the fury? If so i hope you can buy the chassis
I saw the aluminum axle, but what are they doing to rear axles to help with torque twist? My TRX4M's are also horrible for torque twist! Maybe I can carry over the idea to mine.
Not sure if you mentioned it or not, but would one of the Furitek brushless motors/ESC's fit in there?
Sure bro!!!! Makes us all watch it twice!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 As soon as i saw pics of this rig it went on my buy now list!!! Does it look like the over build quality from HP has inproved? The past HP rig i had i was not impressed with. Some of the screws were either striped or the screw holes striped out. Also do you think the brushless will be that much better??? Tell Liam he did great on his unboxing vid!!!!🤘🤘🤘
looks good in rock crawling
I like it. Looks nice and seems to run nice outta the box. But, yeah, that torque twist is a bit much for something labeled "pro". Kinda wish it was more 1/24th. I think it's getting a bit too much when the scales start getting split so many ways. Guys that have 1/24th courses might find the 1/18th too big to be fun. Plus events might end up being a bigger issue putting on with too many scale categories.
Got any 2fmrc discounts so I can get one?
this is now the top of rtr 1/18 scale by far 160 for price and performs better than the furry wagon at 200.
Where do I get one ? Can’t seem to find any one that has it in stock.
I need this in my life, I'm just gutted as I've only just got the furitek fx118,,
I'm assuming that's a 2 in 1 esc and receiver, can you bypass the esc? I'm guessing not but I'm preorder Fri and I've already got a brushless system but lacking a receiver, just have to throw a gt5 at it.
Great vid as always. I have furitek cayman pro that has torque body twist how can i get rid of that do you have a video explaining that. Thank you
Yeah the axle isn’t really available yet I don’t think. Hobbyplus is also working on releasing it so soon hopefully it’ll be more available. Here’s the vid I did on it though.
th-cam.com/video/PLnUJLSYsgM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kRUSCbKgrimf6Ybp
@@2fmrc that was helpful thank you. But these different size than the one on cayman pro? I think ill need fcx24 overdrive
@@moy11111 oh sorry. I read that wrong. Yeah the cayman has fcx axles. Not much you can do to help the torque twist on that. Maybe a stiffer spring on the rear shock opposite of the wheel that lifts. The overdrive should help a bit
Does it use those tiny 1mm hex pins?
Will existing cr18p evo parts fit?
throw some bands on the shocks and some brass portal covers, knuckles, or wheels and i bet that toque twist goes away some. lol
So what’s the deal with FMS and Hobby Plus? Are they the same parent company? Can we assume HP and FMS parts and electronics are compatible for the 1/24 and 1/18 rigs?
What’s the top speed ?
interesting!
Will you be making a video on the new rear axle when it is released? The one to “fix” the torque twist. Would a front axle in the rear negate the twist? And obviously achieve rear steer. THANKS! 👍🏻
Here’s a vid I did on the axle. It’s the same for the fury wagon as it is the Evo pro. I don’t think 4ws would help. I’ll definitely be doing another video on the Evo pro with this axle when it’s released. Haven’t heard exactly when it’s gonna be available yet.
th-cam.com/video/PLnUJLSYsgM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tneYyz9x-_CwjEjJ
Ha! Just finished watching that vid, came back here to see if you responded yet, and you listed the same vid. Thanks for your vids, efforts and quick response. These mini’s have really been taxing my finances 🤣.
Anyone know where these things are sold in Europe? Look quick online and couldn’t find a thing
🎉 hello very good car 🎉❤
This comment has nothing to do with this video. Is there a video on this channel featuring an scx24 with a warthog chassis? I’d love to see Matt’s opinions on it and I’d really like to see a warthog run the his rock course!!
No I never built the warthog. It was very similar to another chassis I had way back like 2 yrs ago from origin Rc so I just never picked one up.
I am on the page for that truck, can't find the one in your vid...
The only place I’ve seen it so far is helidirect. I’m not an affiliate with them in anyway. It’s just the only place I’ve found it besides asiatees and I don’t know about that site either lol
www.helidirect.com/products/hobbyplus-cr-18p-evo-pro
Hi Matt, where did you buy overdrive gears for the 18P evo‘s? Could not find any…
The only place I’ve seen them is on the Furitek site. They are listed for the fury wagon but work on the cr18p. Hopefully hobbyplus will be making them more available soon!
@@2fmrc Thanks Matt 👍🏻
i see helidirect are showing them in stock...also how many teeth is the steering servo...40T like the fms servos as want to get an alloy horn or use the emax spline?@@2fmrc
Id like to see this up against the new redcat 18th scale...
Where can I find the reverse rotation rear axle? I’ve looked all over the Furitek website and didn’t see it.
I don’t think it’s available yet for whatever reason. I think there was a hold up on it. Hobbyplus is releasing it also so hopefully it’ll be more available.
@@2fmrc I was messing around with my Rock Van and decided to try an Fcx24 rear axle obviously it fit, the kicker is it rotates the opposite direction of the hobbyplus axle so I was able to switch the driveshaft to the other output. The width of the fcx24 axle is the same the only issue I see is the fcx24 is ever so slightly faster but if you had the overdrive gears it should be fine. I know how you prefer to run plastic axles so I figured I would tell you about my findings.
Way better than the fx118 body .
What percentage OD do you prefer for your comp style trucks ?
I normally go around 20-25% any more than that it seems like you’re fighting yourself. At least that’s been my experience with 1:10s. I just carry it over to these trucks.
@@2fmrc thank you
Hey Matt, you said you are not into metal axles, is there a reason for that? Just asking because I thought metal axles are better because they lower the CoG.
I just like how plastic slides better over the rocks. Sometimes metal seems to really hang up. I usually add brass to the inner/outer portal covers to get the weight I need and leave the housing plastic. Just seems to work better for me. Thats what I’ve always done on 1/10s and I kinda carry it over to these.
There is a brushless version with furitek available on asiatees
Is it this same Evo pro? Or the fury wagon? Haven’t seen it yet. I heard Furitek had the lock on the brushless version.
@2fmrc the pictures are the same, but can select between brushed or brushless and says furitek brushless electronics. Don't know if installed or just included
I saw that $169 brushed or $219 comes with lizard pro, venom, and mount
I think there’s a brushless version of this too.
Yeah it’s Furiteks version. Slightly different. I think I prefer this one honestly.
Why?@@2fmrc
I see asiatees has a brushless option on the Evo pro. Same electronics as the fx118 . Brushed or brushless the truck is awesome!
I was really interested in this until, on another video, I seen how much wider it is than the furitek wagon.
Yeah it definitely sits wide. It’s mostly the hex they use. Same axles as the fury wagon.
wow
Is it better than the Furitek FX118?
Very similar but I prefer this chassis over the fx118 for sure. I also like the body much better. Way less getting caught on this body or belly. The fx118 is a good rtr for sure. Especially being brushless but the chassis gets caught a lot and the stock body is too wide imo. That’s part of the reason I changed my body.
Do you have an affiliate link for this truck?
Not yet. I don’t actually see it available anywhere that I trust yet 😆
Are there over/underdrive gears for CR18s?
Yes and no. Furitek sent me a set for the fury wagon which is the same axles. They have them on preorder but I haven’t heard when they are shipping etc. Hopefully they’ll be readily available soon! I want a set for this thing bad lol
@@2fmrc yea, it's the only reason I haven't bought one yet, although this one is looking like it would be my first.
I think a lot of stores would be crazy not to pick this up
Is this for sale yet? If not do we know the price point? I can't find it
The only place I’ve seen it so far is helidirect for $169. I’m not an affiliate with them in anyway. It’s just the only place I’ve found it besides asiatees and I don’t know about that site either lol

@@2fmrc awesome thank you!
Looks just like my furitek Cayman that I have $500 into 😩. Companies are starting to pay attention...
Got the rig today. The torque twist is really, really bad. It cost approx. 5 degrees in climbing. The shocks need oil, nearly nothing there.
Yeah it’s pretty terrible with torque twist. My shocks felt pretty good. Not much oil but I honestly just run a couple drops in these small shocks. The trucks really aren’t heavy enough to need a shock full.
@@2fmrc That‘s how the shocks work now: th-cam.com/users/shorts5D6VjWn8rwY?si=eEHbt_Y8ldmulxIN
@@2fmrc And that is the effect of the torque twist how I realised it today. I was expecting nearly 60° incline with the brass wheels and only brass rings at the front which gave me 55% of the weight at the front axle. th-cam.com/video/Fs_ySHkdMiI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Cv8ScTOy7If4Tfq2
@@stefanhofstetter54 looks smooth now
better than the Fury that's brushless and 3s compatible? nope, not a chance. especially not for ~$30 difference.
Oops,😁😁👍👍
This is exactly what the fx118 chassis should have been. Horribly disappointed in furitek. If its not a motor or esc, they lost my buisness.
