Bummer the motor is so tiny though. 275mm seems pretty big for a 030. At that size, I would think they would have used a 370 like the temper or barrage. I like what I see though! Them wheels and tires look nice. 56mm and beadlocks! |

| Re: HobbyPlus RC 1/18 CR-18 Crawler Ready-To-Run I think that the size will allow for a lot of customization and mods to get larger motors to fit But I don't think I've seen any actual videos of this guy running, so it's hard to know if stock will be enough.

Hopefully the extra gear reduction will compensate. I've been waiting for this one to get released! Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk |

I've emailed AT to see when and how much these will go for - their live chat didn't have any answers. Bizarre how they'd put up a blog post without any of that info or the ability to pre-order | |

Also 25mm longer than even an SCX24! 28mm longer than a mini Gelande. This makes for some interesting options. Use CR-24 axle ends to bring the width back down and it's perfect for long WB 1/20 Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk | |

Yes the CR-24 comes with a 1s, but it's 2s capable. Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk | |

Has anybody tested the polarity on these? I've read some alarming news about the CR-24, and am wondering how much investigating and risk I'm going to have to do in order to run a CR-18 with the same Lipos we run on my son's Panda Tetra X-1. (Really just trying to decide if it's worth the hassle getting a CR-18 or just get a second Tetra X-1) Also, can someone confirm that it uses a Molex connector? I'll probably just get a Molex male to JST-RCY adapter for the car and only swap out the connector on the battery. |

Spoo knows exactly what I'm asking. So it sounds like the important part is that the red wire from the ESC goes to the black wire on the regular lipo? As long as that's correct, I see at least two options: 1) Put a JST connector on the ESC and make the wires connect as mentioned above, 2) Get a micro losi to JST adapter and swap the pins as needed make the wires connect as above. Also, pictures seem like the JST-DS and Molex are the same thing? |

I've also read that the CR24 can only handle about 6V and if running a 2S lipo you should install capacitors to bring voltage down...wonder if the CR18 is the same.
