  • Official Hobby Plus Mini Crawler RTR Discussion Thread

    This is for all of the Hobby Plus 1/18 scale Mini Crawlers. The CR18 Harvest is used as an example, as most of the differences are cosmetic.

    Version Info: This vehicle is delivered as “RTR” but requires the additional purchase of 4 (four) AAA alkaline batteries for the transmitter, sold separately (see Requires below for details).

    The Hobby Plus brand of crawlers deliver all the features, performance, and handling you’ve come to expect at a budget-friendly price you won’t. Don’t let the compact size fool you, this mini crawler has features that defy its size, such as FPV-ready electronics, CMS (chassis-mounted servo system), hi-torque 3-wire micro servo, and included LiPo battery and USB charger.

    The chassis design delivers superior geometry thanks to a Panhard system that provides extraordinary amounts of articulation while avoiding unwanted bump steer. An innovative gearbox and drivetrain deliver massive torque at low RPM for a finely controlled crawling experience thanks to an optimized ring and pinion system, which does not hinder top speed like worm-gear drive arrangements used by other brands. A combination of waterproof electronics and LiPo power deliver over 30 minutes of runtime per charge, while internal beadlock wheels secure a soft-compound tire for impressive grip on a wide variety of surfaces and obstacles. The polycarbonate Harvest bodyshell delivers a nostalgic 1950’s vibe with its impressive scale appearance while still offering the potential for personalized custom touches.

    Enjoy an impressively realistic mini-crawling experience by combining the versatile, go-anywhere fun of Hobby Plus Crawlers with Motion RC’s parts and technical support, industry-leading customer service and product selection for a package that cannot be beat!
    2.4GHz Radio Reliability

    The comfortable transmitter offers all of the electronic setting options to customize the mini crawling experience to your specific requirements.
    Durable Design

    Metal chassis rails anchor a proven link-style suspension for maximum articulation and grip.
    Impressive Electronics

    The CR18 Electronic package includes a 3-wire, chassis mounted servo and reliable 2.4GHz receiver with FPV and auxiliary LED power ports.
    Ring and Pinion Drive

    This appears similar to the FMS model sold by MRC until recently. I bought one and liked it until the electronics failed - the throttle channel stopped working. MRC, Any chance electronic parts for this or the FMS version will be available?
    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!
